APIS Translation (English)

Lysias(?) [to - - - and] policemen, greetings. [So-and-so, the man [presenting this order] has been appointed [to oversee the collection of the . . . tax . . .?] of Trikomia (and) Lysimachis. In whatever matters, then, he happens to need from you the things pertaining to this, you will do well to co-operate with him so that none of the things beneficial to the royal treasury be neglected. Farewell. Year 8, Phamenoth 8.
