and having been scrutinized in year 1 […] sixteen years old, and having been enrolled, through the list submitted by the phylarch of the aforesaid quarter for the corn distribution to those aged sixteen, in the class of the scrutinized, and having until now not answered (the call) because I was abroad on account of a pressing need, now having arrived and showing my scrutiny and declaring that I was enrolled through the lists as I said before, I ask that I too, being a citizen and native-born, submitting at the same time these documents, may share in the gift of the corn ration like those from the order of the scrutinized. Farewell.
Year 3 of Imperator Caesar Lucius Domitius Aurelianus Gothicus Maximus Pius Felix Augustus, Pauni 30.
Aurelius Serenus, scrutineer: this is the man who was scrutinized, who also answered when called.
Aurelius Silvanus, identifier: I identify the aforesaid as being so, and he is the one who was examined and answered at the calling.
