In English machine translation

[…] […] you (pl.) register/endorse (?) […] I urge you, therefore, knowing […] […] I delivered to his excellency the prefect a copy of the petition; and before […] […] most honoured […] […] […] I pray for your health, my lord […] […]

The reference to the prefect (hegemon) is largely restored; the Greek anaphorion means a petition or report submitted to an official. The scribe's misspelling 'hememoni' stands for hegemoni.
