Order to release a man and warning against demands on church estates TM 129781Hermopolites

Fragment of a Late Antique order, probably a letter, telling the recipient to release a man at once. It warns him not to make any further demands on an estate belonging to a church or to a high-ranking 'most glorious' man without the writer's consent. The text comes from the Hermopolite nome.
In English machine translation
[…] and
[…] the man
release him immediately, and no longer seek anything, either on an estate of the same church or of the most glorious man himself, against my wishes or his, since truly I will not bear with you any longer. †
Another record tentatively takes this as an order from Athanasios (?) to Senouthios, possibly an anystes (an estate official). 'Most glorious' (endoxotatos) is an honorific title for high officials.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Athanasios (?) a Senouthios anystes (?). Ordine di liberazione e diffida). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
