Translation into English

To those who judge the royal and judicial matters (money managers), whose introducer is Dionysios from Onnophrion of Teotios, the embalmer of those from Tanis of Heracleides' district, who appeared together with Amenneus, concerning the hour for the matter that has been given to us as a reminder to Apollonios the governor, according to Abychios of the hour and Kekhonsios of Pasitos and Pasin, concerning the embalmers from Philadelphia, it is necessary to be taken up into the royal honor that was in the embalming practices in Philadelphia, concerning the deceased who was buried in the turmoil that occurred in Philadelphia, and in the year of Athyr, [date unclear], I have written to you and by Poseidonios the chief archivist, as it is necessary to be written down and to be made evident according to the current situation. Since therefore those who are [unclear] are because they are [unclear] according to the letter of the governor until the month of Athyr, those who are previously written are harvesting the fruits of the honor beyond what is due to them, which they should have been [unclear] to the royal [honor]. Therefore, I ask you to write to Dionysios the introducer, so that he may write to Marrhis the prophet of Suchu to report the harvests that have been made until your [unclear] inspection concerning these matters. And concerning these matters, nothing of the royal [financial] matters will be omitted. Good luck.

English Translation

To the judges (chrematistai) who decide royal and revenue matters,
whose introducer is Dionysios, from Onnophris son of Teos,
embalmer from Tanis of the Herakleides district, who jointly presented (the case) with Amenneis
son of Horos, concerning the fact that we have submitted a memorandum to Apollonios the dioiketes
against Abychis son of Horos and Kechonsis
son of Pasitos and Pasin Psenemous,
embalmers from Philadelphia,
that it is necessary to recover for the royal [privilege]
[which] was in the embalming workshops in Philadelphia, belonging to Psenephemous son of Paos,
[who fell during the] disturbance, who was working in Phila[delphia],
and on the 2nd of Hathyr of the 21st year,
I was brought before you by Poseidonios the chief guard, since [...] and after I had signed, it would become clear according to the [...] established situation.
Since therefore those [...] have been released because they are [...] according to the letter of [...]nides
until the 30th of Hathyr, the aforementioned persons are harvesting
the produce of the privilege contrary to what is proper, which they ought to have delivered to the royal treasury.
Therefore, I request you to instruct Dionysios the introducer, so that he may write to Marres the prophet of Souchos
to secure the produce of the aforementioned privilege
until you have conducted your investigation concerning these matters.
Once these things have been done, nothing useful to the royal treasury will be omitted.
Farewell.
