Gaius Valerius Mareinus (anno) Pachon 17.
To Lucius Seilius Satrianus, the most esteemed, regarding his own matter, from Gaius Valerius Mareinus, the magistrate of Matidius and Marcianus. I have sent you, sir, the small book concerning the month of Pachon of the past year, of which this is the signature. The general will take care of the matter as long as I judge it, and nothing should be recorded concerning the treasury. I have also given the general a report, stating that not only... Since, therefore, sir, this small book along with others should be written to the general of the division of Heracleides, to send the defendant for your judgment, so that the matter may already reach a conclusion. It is also the copy of the small book: to Seilius Satrianus, the most esteemed, regarding his own matter from Gaius Valerius Mareinus, the magistrate of Matidius and Marcianus. It was sent in the current year of Antoninus and Verus, the lords, to some concerning the faith which, having confessed, according to the commands, has reached me in rightful inheritance. Since, therefore, sir, my matters have been examined and both the house and the courtyard and the sacred things belong to me according to the right of the confessed faith, in so much as I do not prove anything against you, I ask that if it pleases you, you command to write to the general of the division of Heracleides to send Sar... for the deliberation of the law, in so much as nothing should be altered until your lordship's judgment. Gaius Valerius Mareinus has given (the year) Pachon 17. (Copy of the signature: the general will take care of the matter as long as I judge it, and nothing should be recorded concerning the treasury.)

To Lucius Saelius Satrianus, the most excellent, acting in his own jurisdiction,
from Gaius Valerius Marinus, veteran, also called Matidius Marcianeus.
I submitted to you, my lord procurator, a small petition on the 17th of the month Pachon of the past 4th year, whose subscription reads:
"The strategos will take care until I myself decide the matter, and nothing shall be done regarding the treasury's registration."
Therefore, since this matter along with others [is to be written to the strategos of the Heracleides district],
to the same strategos [to send forth the opponent] for your judgment, so that the matter may finally be resolved and I may be benefited. Farewell.
The copy of the small petition is as follows:
To Saelius Satrianus, the most excellent, acting in his own jurisdiction, from Gaius Valerius Marinus, veteran, also called Matidius Marcianeus.
I lodged a complaint in the current 4th year of Antoninus and Verus, the Lords Augusti, against a certain Sar[...] concerning a matter of trust (fideicommissum),
having made a declaration [...] according to the orders given [...] it came down to me by hereditary right [...]
and he decided thus: "Since the matter concerns trust, you may petition the most excellent acting in his own jurisdiction."
Therefore, according to the subsequent [...] in the month Hadrianus, the 28th, and concerning the sowing [...]
Since, my lord, he has displaced my property, house, courtyard, and belongings that rightfully belong to me according to the declared trust,
I request, if it seems good to you, to order the strategos of the Heracleides district to send forth Sar[...] to the legal accounting,
and meanwhile that he make no innovations until your lordship's decision. Farewell.
Gaius Valerius Marinus, I submitted this on the 17th Pachon of the 4th year.
Subscription: "The strategos will take care until I myself decide the matter, and nothing shall be done regarding the treasury's registration."
Gaius Valerius Marinus, I submitted this in the 5th year [...] Satrianus.
