Tradução moderna em inglês
To Trajan.
Publius Attius Aquila, Sir, a centurion of the sixth cohort of horse, * asked me to forward to you a memorial in which he begs your indulgence on behalf of the status of his daughter. I thought it would be hard to deny him, especially as I know what a ready and kindly ear you turn to the requests of your soldiers.
