Translation into English

From Alypios.
And at another time, it was written to you about the preservation of the grain
(*)
and the sending back
to make it clear; but you have neglected it, perhaps
(*)
not using good judgment.
What you should do now is
not to be compelled to do this with soldiers.
I wish you to be strong.

I will note you

English Translation

From Alypios.
Previously also it was written to you to indicate clearly the procurement of the grain and its dispatch; but you neglected it, perhaps acting with a bad conscience. Do this even now, lest you be compelled to do it accompanied by a soldier.
I pray you are well.
I have signed.
To Heroneinos, steward (phrontistes), through Thrasos.
Year 12, Thoth 26.
