[recto] Flavius Makarios, vir perfectissimus, procurator of the imperial estates, to Flavius Abinnaeus, praefectus of the camp of Dionysias, greetings. The authority of my lord Flavius Felicissimus, vir perfectissimus, comes and dux, taking thought for the imperial house, has ordered that military assistance be provided to my care for the collection of the imperial dues from the soldiers under your charge. Make haste therefore, in accordance with what was written to you by the same my lord the most perfect dux, to send soldiers for this same collection through the officialis sent by the same my lord the most perfect dux and also by my lord the most perfect catholicus, knowing that if you should be unwilling to send them, it will be brought to the notice of the same my lord dux that you have obstructed the collection for the imperial house. I pray for your health, lord brother, for many years. [verso] Flavius Makarios to Flavius Abinnaeus, praepositus.
