A nomination of candidates for the liturgical office of sitologoi (grain collectors) at Theadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

Sitologoi of Theadelphia. In accordance with the letter written by Flavius Gratillianus, the most excellent epistrategos, concerning sending names for the lot of sitologoi, collectors and others, I submit the persons listed below, being well-off and suitable, at the risk of those from the village and of all the farmers around it, on mutual responsibility, as was ordered.

The list of names announced as "listed below" is not preserved in this text. Liturgies were compulsory public services; "plerotai" (collectors) were officials responsible for completing tax or grain payments.
