APIS Translation (English)
During the consulate of our lords Constantius and Maximianus, the most illustrious Caesares, the 5th time. To Aurelius Apion, strategus of the Arsinoites from Aurelius Pamutis, son of Athiois and Aurelius Arrianos, son of Arguleus, both komarchoi of the village of Philadelphia. We act in connection with the benefit of the most sacred treasury and the organizing of our village. Best of the strategi, for a long time we inhabit our village having a great many debts, truly not in connection with our village, but in fact in connection with the part Tanis. In order now that we, too, can get the water forthwith and benefit and cultivate all our land and can pay the state-taxes for this and the annona and all kinds of extra charges we submit this document to you, requesting that you, by means of your servants, inform the most exalted council through the prytanis in office, Aurelius Kastorion, in order that it (the council) carry out an inspection, making an estimate of the states of the stream and which are covered with stones, situated in the village of Tanis of your nome, so that we too can benefit from the coming up of the flax and have drinkable water and sow the flat land of our village and stay in our own territory and have benefit from our own possessions. Farewell. The year 21 and 13 of our lords Diocletianus and Maximianus Augusti and Constantius and Maximianus the most illustrious Caesar, the 1st Pachon. Aurelius Pamutis and Aurelius Arrianos, we have submitted it. Aurelius Kopres, son of Euporos, I have written it for them, because they can not write.
