English Translation

Psenobastis to Zenon, greetings.
If it seems good to you, you will do well to write
to Paues, the royal secretary,
so that he may be helpful if we request something favorable from him.
Know also that we are detaining the fishermen
who cast nets by hand, so that no one else
may cross over to the islands.
Therefore, write to Paues so that he does not
oppose us.
Farewell.
Psenobastis.
