2 (Inspection) of the rising of the most sacred Nile in the division of Themistes for
the current 22nd year of our Lord Imperator Commodus Antoninus. 5 The inspection was made by me in conjunction with Demetrios when he was strategus
of the divisions, and Hierakapollon, the present strategus, and Asclepinos, the royal
scribe of the division of Themistes, 9 in accordance with the records of the inspectors of sowing in each district and of
the overseers of embankments, and within the limits prescribed by the former prefect
Flavius Piso, to Petronius, my predecessor as inspector, 15 whereby he desired him in company with the strategi and royal scribes to make the
inspection of the work remaining to be done( ?) on embankments and canals; so that
if each task was completed according to the norm of the nome —— in a special record
there should be a comparison of the records given by the inspectors of sowing with
that of my inspection —,
21 in accordance with which we have made the survey with the concurrence of the inspectors
of sowing and x also called Ptolemaios, former shore-warden, and Aurelios Areios,
present shore-warden. 25 They themselves pointed out their own work and that of others wherever necessary.
Theodoros, son of Soterichos, surveyor of the Heracleopolite nome, acted as surveyor
and measures. 28 Beginning the inspection of the above division on Epiph 20 in the past 21st year,
we completed it on the 17th of Phaophi in the current 22nd year with intervals. The
number of days —— (Translation with minor modifications: A.C. Johnson, Roman Egypt to the reign of Diocletian,
