kosmetes, hypomnematographos (secretary) of the most illustrious city of the Alexandrians,
exegetes, councilor of the illustrious and most illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites,
enarchos (official), prytanis (president), to Gaius Julius Theon, three-time victor (triastes) of the Capitolia,
extraordinary high priest of the local athletic association (xystos), and to Helites, xystarch (head of the athletic association),
greetings to my most beloved friends:
Since we have judged it proper and conducive to the good order of the Capitoline contest
that all the sacred victors (hieronikai) and those adorned with honors from other contests should be present,
it was necessary through our letters and also privately through your diligence to assist in this matter.
If anyone is left out and does not receive the appropriate seat of honor (prosedreia)
befitting the most excellent contest, you, knowing these things, will take the necessary actions.
I pray for your good health.
Year 4 of the Emperor Caesar Lucius Domitius Aurelianus Gothicus Maximus, most pious,
fortunate, invincible Augustus.
Phamenoth 30.
To the most excellent council (boule).
