How would these people not, with much greater justice, having all at once so many and such great benefits from the pure munificence of the bravest of all Emperors ever, Aurelian, be moved both to joy and to eagerness to live rightly and without contentiousness, enjoying the benefits that have come to them? Year 5 of Imperator Caesar Lucius Domitius Aurelianus Gothicus Maximus Carpicus Maximus Pius Felix Augustus, Phaophi 20.

The text is written on the back (verso) of another papyrus; the first column is very damaged. The scribe deleted a first attempt at the date formula before rewriting it.
