Translation into English

To the centurion (a hundred-man) from Gemellus of Horion, concerning the sick, the visions of the one who is in the village of Karanidi.

Polydeuces in the harvests with another whose name I do not know, of wheat in the plain of Talanton, of the village in question, and having struck my rod, not a little of wheat. And I, having come to the archon, we became those who had been set down beside the previously declared good pumpkin.

Let me restore to me the things that have been taken. Since therefore until now there has been no concern about this, I ask and I demand that they be brought to you so that I may first receive the things that have been taken and then obtain the rightful retribution.

In the year of the Emperor Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Eusebius of Eutychus the Augustus.
