From Harpalos.
To the bull-drivers (?) sent from Dionysias provide the customary rations. I pray for your health.
To Heroninos, manager.

The term ταυρικοί may mean the men in charge of oxen or the oxen themselves; 'rations' covers both food for workers and fodder for animals. The regnal year is not tied to a named emperor in the text, though the Heroninos archive dates to the mid-3rd century AD.
