A monthly report from Aurelius Her[…], village scribe of Apollonos Polis and Psinteo in the Arsinoite nome, to the strategos Aurelius Calpurnius Isidoros, declaring that he had nothing to report to the offices of the idios logos and the high priest for the month of Mesore of year 23.

In English machine translation

[recto] To Aurelius Calpurnius Isidoros also called Harpokration, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Themistos and Polemon divisions, from Aurelius Her[…], village scribe of Apollonos Polis and Psinteo. I declare that I have nothing pertaining to report to the procuratorships of the idios logos and of the high priest for the past month of Mesore of the 23rd year. [verso] Apo[…] Psinteo, Mesore

The idios logos was the Roman office handling irregular revenues such as confiscations and fines; the high priest supervised Egyptian temples. Year 23 probably belongs to a third-century reign, likely Caracalla (AD 214/215).
