† May your Brilliance be pleased to release the […] two vinedressers of the most magnificent […] from Magdola Mire. But by all means release [them] […] †
[verso]
[…] … from Athanasios, illustris †
The catalogue record suggests the addressee may be Senouthios, an anystes (an official of the Arab-period administration), but this is marked as uncertain. "Illustris" and "most magnificent" are formal honorific titles of late antique officials and landowners.
