[In the reign] of our lord [Flavius] Justinian, the eternal and autocratic [Augustus],
in the twelfth year, during the consulship of Flavius John, the most illustrious, five days before the Ides of August,
in the year of the province [433, month Loios], on the twenty-first day, in the first year of the indiction,
in the [metropolis Petra] of Salutaris, Third Palestine,
to the most reverend Euthenius, son of Dusarius, serving as politarch and receiver of the same [city],
and to the most reverend receivers appointed from time to time, I write the following:
Following the memoranda exchanged between myself and his illustriousness,
it was decided by me in these same memoranda concerning all public debts and current obligations,
if it should so happen, to pay a half-share of these arrears from the recently passed tenth, eleventh, twelfth, fifteenth, and the current first indiction, into the public account,
and furthermore, from the second indiction onward, to pay continuously a half-share of all taxes due through him.
I instruct your reverence and the reverend receivers through this letter of mine to relieve the person and account of the said illustrious Panolbius of half the debts mentioned,
and to charge my own person and account with the same half-share, since the illustrious Panolbius has already fully paid the obligations for the third, tenth, and fourteenth indictions recently passed.
