Translation into English

To my lord, the father, in the Lord God and the Son of Christ, John, the Good, greetings. I wish to know, my lord father, that I have come to you and at another time I have asked you for your kindness concerning Apollonius, that I may ask you to send me to him so that he may release me from my authority, that he may release me from the prison, since I am not being fed by the necessary food; often I do not taste bread for three days. I would not, for the love of God, be about to die from thirst. Therefore, do everything to release me. For I trust in God with you. I wish you to be strong.

English Translation

To my lord father in the Lord God and Christ, son of God, John, Epagathos sends greetings. I wish you to know, my lord father, that I came to you also previously, requesting your kindness concerning Apollonios, that I ask you to send to him so that he may release me from prison, since I am not satisfied with the necessary food. Often I spend three days without tasting bread. If it were not for the love of God, I would have died from hunger. Therefore, by all means, make him release me. For after God, I rely on you. I pray that you remain well.
