[recto] Liturgy (?) To Aurelius Eudaimon also called Helladios, former magistrate, councillor of Alexandria, and however he is styled, from Aurelius Apollonios, and however I am styled, whose mother is Tamois. Since it was resolved in the most excellent council that those who have performed liturgies should share in the gift of grain, and since I myself am performing, in the current year 2 and year 5, under the person performing the liturgy of the Poimenike quarter, the public donkey-transport service of the metropolis, I ask that what has been resolved be observed in my case also and that I share in the distribution of grain in the class of those like me. Farewell. Year 2 of Imperator Caesar Lucius Domitius Aurelianus Pius Felix Augustus and year 5 of Iulius Aurelius Septimius Vaballathus Athenodorus, the most illustrious king, consul, imperator, general of the Romans, Pharmouthi 22. I, Aurelius Apollonios, have submitted this. I, Aurelius Dioskourides, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. [verso] … Pharmouthi
