Flavius, the general of Oxyrhynchus, to Flavius P[ and Aurelius Theon, to the praepositi, greetings to my brothers. The authority of my most distinguished lord, Duke Flavius Felicissimus, has commanded that the titans be sent to Babylon. Therefore, be diligent, brothers, regarding the public matters of those who are coming, those who are choosing each titan, as it is made clear hereafter to establish upon the city and to prepare their dispatch, so that nothing will be an obstacle. (hand 2) I pray that you are well, brother. Of the consulship of Volcatius Rufinus, the most illustrious governor of the sacred praetorium, and of Flavius Eusebius, the most illustrious, the comitus of Pauni. (hand 3) And there are: of Sarapion Chairemon, the public ones with the titans.
