In English machine translation
Antoninus, centurion, to the stationarii of the road to (Mons) Claudianus, greetings. Let pass two men. Choiak 15.
Stationarii were soldiers manning road stations and checkpoints; the term has no exact English equivalent. Such ostraca served as travel permits on the desert roads.
