In English machine translation

[recto] From the roll of examinations (epikrisis) of Titus Flavius Titianus, prefect of Egypt, of which the heading is: The undersigned veterans who served in the cavalry units (alae) and cohorts, having obtained, with their children and descendants, Roman citizenship and the right of legal marriage with the wives they had at the time when citizenship was granted to them, or, if any were unmarried, with those whom they might afterwards marry, up to one each; and further other veterans who obtained Roman citizenship alone; and likewise Romans and Alexandrians and freedmen and slaves and others presented themselves for examination before Titus Flavius Titianus, prefect of Egypt, from the 9th day before the Kalends of March, which is Mecheir 27, until the 11th day before the Kalends of June, which is Pachon 27, of the present […] year of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus. The documents they submitted to […], prefect of the ala Apriana, are noted beside each name. After other matters, from pages […]: Gaius Petronius Maximus, wishing to stay for a time in […] of the Arsinoite nome […] examinations of Titus Flavius Titianus […] year of Hadrian Caesar the lord […]. […] […] […] [verso] Copy of the examination of Gaius Petronius Maximus.

Epikrisis was an official examination verifying a person's legal status and privileges, here chiefly of veterans and Roman citizens. Most of the standard heading is restored from parallel copies of the same register.
