To Tourbon, former gymnasiarch of the city of the Arsinoites and former eutheniarch of the most splendid city of the Alexandrians, and however he is styled, from Heleis (?) son of Nechthenouphis (?), his mother being Taureis (?), from the village of Bakchias. I wish to lease from you […] in the village of Bakchias […] […]

The eutheniarch was a civic magistrate responsible for the city's food supply. What was to be leased is lost, and the father's name is partly restored.
