In English machine translation

[margin] […]arios: to be served (?) [centre] To Claudius Cerealis, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division, from Diodoros son of Perigenes, grandson of Sarapion, of the Auxisporeion, also called Althaieus. A copy of the official communication which I obtained from Neikolaos, administrator of the office of the archidikastes, is appended below, and I ask that an identical copy be served through an assistant upon Thermoutharion, who is indicated in it, so that she may know. Year 22 of Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, Pachon 19. Neikolaos, administrator of the office of the archidikastes, to the strategos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, greeting. [As appended below. Fare]well. Year [22 of Imper]ator Caesar Traianus [Hadrianus] […] to Neikolaos […] […]

The archidikastes was the chief judicial official in Alexandria, whose office registered contracts and issued such notices; Auxisporeion and Althaieus are Alexandrian deme and tribe designations. The marginal note is fragmentary and its reading is uncertain.
