To Aurelius, both the Sacred and the General of the Oxyrhynchites, from Marcus Aurelius Sarapion, of Patermuthius, from the brilliant and most splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, of the Capitol. Since I have received the glory in life, having won in the fortunate event held in the most splendid city of the Antinoeans for victory and the everlasting power of our Lord, the Emperor Tactius Augustus, in the sacred and ecumenical Philadelphian Antinoeans, in the five-year Capitolian games, the contest of the boundaries, and since I have brought the usual responses to the crown, having entered here, from this, I have incurred exemption and non-service everywhere, according to the regulations of the contests, I have been brought to the offering of these books to be made worthy of one of those who serve you to be transmitted.
