Translation

To Valerius Ammonianus and Gerontius [the accountant] of Oxyrhynchus, councilor of the illustrious city, from Aurelius Dioscorus, son of Heron, from the same city, a public physician. I have been sent by you from the little books you provided to you by Aurelius Horus, while he was residing in the settlement of Hemiobelis, concerning the village of Senekeleus of Aurelius Theon, from the beneficium, so that I might provide for the one registered in the little books, his brother Phibis, and whatever I may find regarding him, I will write down and address. Therefore, having come to the aforementioned settlement of Hemiobelis, I looked at Phibis, who was lying down, having a division of the head and down the left shoulder and of the arm and down to the right, from where I address.
