In the consulship of our lords Severus Augustus and Maximinus most noble Caesar.
To Aurelius Dioskoros also called Helladios, gymnasiarch, councillor, prytanis in office of the illustrious and most illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites,
from Aurelius Timotheos son of Sarapias, from the same city. Since the donkey-dealers of the same city have improperly proceeded against me in connection with the supplying of two donkeys being sent to his excellency the magister of the res privata, on the grounds that I supposedly practise their trade, accordingly I declare, swearing by the Fortune of our lords the Emperors Maximianus and Severus Augusti and Maximinus and Constantinus the most noble Caesars, that I have never practised their trade nor do I practise it; and if I am later caught, I shall be liable to the divine oath and to the danger attending it.
Year 15, 3, 1 of our lords Maximianus and Severus Augusti and Maximinus and Constantinus the most noble Caesars, Pachon 14.
