Philiskos and Herodes, keepers of the public records, to Chairemon and Papontos, sitologoi of the district of Monimos, and to Herakleides, sitologos of the district of Sinkepha, and to Dionysios, former sitologos of the district of Mem(…), greeting. There has been deposited with us through Apollonios, secretary, on the 30th of Phamenoth of the 18th year of Hadrian Caesar the lord, the man-by-man statement of completion for each granary administration for wheat of the produce of the 17th year; and by Chairemon and Papontos of the district of Monimos and Herakleides of the district of Sinkepha the monthly summary account for Mecheir; and by Chairemon and Papontos alone of the district of Monimos also the monthly account for Phamenoth and the man-by-man supplementary account of receipts. I, Theon, secretary, have signed.

Sitologoi were local officials in charge of public granaries and wheat tax receipts. The term metalogion, rendered 'supplementary account', is of uncertain exact meaning.
