In English machine translation

[Year 17 of the Emperors Caesars Marcus Aurelius Antoninus] [and Lucius Aurelius Commodus Antoninus] Armeniaci Medici Parthici [Germanici] Sarmatici Maximi, Pharmouthi [2. Tapetheus] daughter of Ptolemaios son of Zenas had it attested [that she had copied and] collated from the roll of petitions of Titus Pactumeius Magnus, prefect of Egypt, posted in Iuliopolis while the most illustrious prefect was holding the conventus, [in which] roll of petitions the following was written: To Titus Pactumeius Magnus, prefect of Egypt, from Tapetheus daughter of Ptolemaios son of Zenas, from the village of Karanis [in the division of Herakleides of the] Arsinoite nome. Enjoying your [beneficence] towards all, [greatest prefect], I too, a woman [without help and having no assistance] except [from you, lord, have taken refuge with you] […] lords (?) […] […]

The petitioner's name and much of the dating formula are restored, partly from a duplicate copy (BGU II 525). The conventus (dialogismos) was the prefect's judicial assize at which petitions were received and answered.
