Mechír
Grace be to you in the Lord God.
He wrote to Nydym.
There will be six days; there arose a necessity. We will send John.
Through the brother of my own. We greet you and pray for you through our Stephen, the same deacon, that is, Mechír.
As it was said in the church in Arcadians in the city of that church.
I teach you; I have seen in a bright baptism and quietness.
Listen to me, and I teach you.
Support the poor, said Stephen, and then Stephen the brother, the deacon.
We heard the signs.
