English Translation

In the consulship of Flavius Caesarius and Atticus,
To Aurelius Cyrus, son of Philammon, a citizen,
Chief magistrate and night commander of Hermopolis, the most illustrious city,
From Aurelius ... tarsicarius (basket-maker or weaver) from the same city.
Therefore, before these days ... our green (vegetation or crops?) ...
... priest ...
Concerning the matter ... we shall deliberate ...
For this reason, I submit to your fairness these my documents,
requesting that the aforementioned person be brought and compelled ... to desist,
so that there may not be a disturbance to the authority of my lord, the most illustrious governor, concerning this matter.
Farewell. Aurelius Cyrus.

Notes:

• The text is fragmentary and incomplete, with several lacunae (missing sections).
• The term "ταρσικάριος" (tarsicarius) likely refers to a craftsman, possibly a basket-maker or weaver.
• "ἐπιεικείᾳ" (fairness, clemency) is corrected from the original manuscript reading "ἐπιε̣ι̣κ̣ί̣ᾳ̣".
• The document appears to be an official petition or request addressed to a local magistrate or official.
