Translation into English

"To your name, the elephants of the garments, they demanded because they do not have the garments for three years. But Akestor the steward commanded that since there is no Syria, each one should be provided with garments (drachmas). For they also said in the land that it is customary that they should not have the honor of Syria. All of them should receive in your temple, being of Akestor the steward, the writings that should not be completed in the city, and that the treasury should not be destroyed."

...they requested, since for three years they have had no clothing and are in need.
Akestor, the steward, ordered that, because there were no cloaks (syrias), ten drachmas should be given to each for clothing, since they said it was customary in the region, if cloaks were not available, to receive their value.
And since all of them were in your sanctuary, and Akestor the steward had written memoranda stating that contributions were not being collected throughout the city, and that the bathhouse was falling into disrepair and becoming idle..."
