To the beloved
my sweet mother
and Tia's son
your
Genna
in the Lord
rejoice.
I am in great distress
concerning
the second matter
that I have been brought to.
I have not been worthy of anything
if not the greatest
of all
God and the holy martyrs
and their power
and the grace
of the Trinity.
And the two things I have done once
I have been troubled
and have suffered loss
more than forty.
And I weep
for her
the days
that I have fallen
into these trials.
And I have another matter
to be brought in.
And I hope
in the power
of God that I may find
you with perfect joy
of God helping me in all things.
I received
you
the little lamb
of the shepherd
what you said to me,
I was very saddened and wept
hearing about
the good Pagenes
whom you took
the wretched
to take such a fall
through
the youth of the good Pagenes.
Comfort her, for there is nothing
to do.
Day and night
I pray
for the holy
John concerning
my brothers
that God may help them
wherever they may be.
For I heard that they are in
Thebaid.
I greet Euprepian
and all.
Pray also
for me; I
will then
be with you
and the Aphrodite
and all those who love us
by name.
