To the most illustrious governor of Egypt, from Aurelius, of the city of Heracleopolis, concerning the gymnasiarch and the crowns of the city of Antinoë, as I am requesting.
Trusting in this supplication of mine, most illustrious leader, through the leadership of the administration, may it reach your attention quickly, especially regarding the matter of the divine sacred inscriptions of our lord, the most noble Emperor Caesar Marcus Antonius Gordianus Eusebius Eutychus, in the most revered Sebaste of Heracleopolis. I have submitted these through necessary documents, so that you may take vengeance on my behalf.
I have suffered and am suffering from the same troublesome and risky situation, and from a desperate company and kinship. If you should come forth and assist me in these matters, as much as is possible, I would be grateful.
It was not sufficient for Theodosius and Ploution the archon to have been involved in the matter of the great size of your authority and the honor bestowed upon me from the judicial process of the Heracleopolitan law, which has been passed in the year of the most fortunate reign of the emperor, after the decision that was made.
I have included this in my book according to the remaining matters of the authority that has been established, having gathered some of those who are under me, including my brother Lyggeas and Heracleion, who are being judged after your intervention in the matter.
Almost everything until the end has been received, and it is possible through Lyggeas, who is also Heracleion, that the future matters will be resolved.
I have called upon you to take action and to ensure that the necessary orders are followed.
