In English machine translation

Aurelius Apion also called Ammonios, strategos of the Lykopolite nome, to Aurelius Apollonios, royal scribe of the same nome, his dearest, greetings. As for your other letters, brother, which you sent through your assistant, the necessary and proper answers will be given; but take care at least now, as has been ordered and commanded by the most illustrious prefect Maevius Honoratianus, to make the annotation of the supplementary lists (?) handed over to me after the deadline, man by man, knowing that, in addition to the delay that has occurred and the suspension of the collection, you must at least today take care of this, so that you obey what has been ordered by the most illustrious prefect […] […] […] […]

Maevius Honoratianus was prefect of Egypt around AD 231-236, which dates the letter approximately. The word rendered 'supplementary lists' is a restoration and its exact technical meaning is uncertain.
