In English machine translation
In the consulship of our masters Constantinus Augustus for the 8th time and Constantinus the most illustrious Caesar for the 4th time.
To Aurelius Ploution, praepositus of the 3rd pagus,
from the Aurelii Petteiris son of Paelaineus, tesserarius, and Pausas son of Besas and Panechotes son of Herakles, komarchs of the village of Senekeleu in the 3rd pagus.
We present, at our own risk, for the services at hand of the prosperous 3rd indiction the persons listed below, who are well-off and suitable for the service. They are:
Aurelii
Sitologos: Pausiris son of Pammachos, Klaros son of Panechotes.
For chaff: Hatres son of Ammonios, Pausas son of Pataurios.
For meat: Papnouthis son of Mouis, Hatres son of Silvanus.
For tunics and cloaks: Paelenes son of Amoitas, Hatres son of Tachis.
All from the same village.
In the aforesaid consulship, Pachon 15.
We, Aurelii Petseiris, tesserarius, and Pausas and Panechotes, the aforementioned, have submitted this. I, Aurelius Ision son of Heras, wrote on their behalf since they do not know letters.
The names are set in two columns in the original; the pairing of names with services follows the layout and is an interpretation. A tesserarius was a village official, and nominators bore liability for those they named.
