(Inspection) of the rising of the most sacred Nile in the division of Themistes for the current 22nd year of our Lord Imperator Commodus Antoninus. The inspection was made by me in conjunction with Demetrios when he was strategus of the divisions, and Hierakapollon, the present strategus, and Asclepinos, the royal scribe of the division of Themistes, in accordance with the records of the inspectors of sowing in each district and of the overseers of embankments, and within the limits prescribed by the former prefect Flavius Piso, to Petronius, my predecessor as inspector, whereby he desired him in company with the strategi and royal scribes to make the inspection of the work remaining to be done( ?) on embankments and canals; so that if each task was completed according to the norm of the nome —— in a special record there should be a comparison of the records given by the inspectors of sowing with that of my inspection —, in accordance with which we have made the survey with the concurrence of the inspectors of sowing and x also called Ptolemaios, former shore-warden, and Aurelios Areios, present shore-warden. They themselves pointed out their own work and that of others wherever necessary. Theodoros, son of Soterichos, surveyor of the Heracleopolite nome, acted as surveyor and measures. Beginning the inspection of the above division on Epiph 20 in the past 21st year, we completed it on the 17th of Phaophi in the current 22nd year with intervals.
