Translation into English

To my lord father Are, greetings. First of all, I pray to God concerning your completeness. I have heard that you have come from...
...Tamotis has ascended to me. You find your completeness in the letters that you have sent to me. Therefore, I ask you to send me a copy or you to me directly, so that I may know what kind of person you are.
For it is said that the king is coming here. Without you, let it be written to me, and send it to me quickly, as you wish. For I command to my mother that she may see...
...Horigenes is with you, for they know a good faith. Send me a letter that if you find a man, send him to me, for I am seeking silver.
I greet my brother, both Ammonius and Briskilla. I have given the small sack of Heraiscus to you from Anubion. I pray that you may be well.
