Translation into English

"Heracles, greetings to Pompeius,
and may you be healthy throughout. As soon as the letter comes to you,
come immediately. Since Apis has passed away, I have not been released from Serapis
in the house. It is wintering me. Since
it is said: 'Bring the reminders', 'It has been sent', I say
that: 'Two reminders. I do not give silver',
it has been proclaimed to us saying that: 'You have not given
a circular (letter)'. If the letter comes to you,
come immediately; but if not, I will go out
from the house. If you do not come, I will
sit down and I will come to Arsinoe."

English Translation

Heraklous to Pompeius, greetings and continual good health. As soon as this letter reaches you, come immediately. Since Apeis died, Serapous has not allowed me in the house. He is causing me trouble. Since [...] saying: "Bring the documents," "They have been sent," saying that: "Two documents. I am not giving money," he has publicly proclaimed against us, saying: "You have not given the circular (letter)." If the letter reaches you, come immediately; otherwise, I am leaving the house. If you do not come, I will mount a donkey and go to the Arsinoite nome.
