Translation into English

After receiving this,

Ptolemy Achilles greets you.

After writing to you

[it seemed] to me also

about the

vision to explain to you,

so that you may know

in what way

the gods know you. I have signed it in Egyptian,

so that you may know accurately.

When I was about to sleep,

I wrote letters

one concerning Tauchius of the

Thermuthis,

and one concerning Tete-

imouthis of the Tauetis, who is

Ptolemy's daughter, and

one more I placed

concerning the undertaking, in what way I also

brought forth a good day.

Farewell. (Year)

To Phaophi

and.

To the brotherhood

Achilles.

English Translation

After receiving [your letter],
Ptolemaios greets Achilleus.
After writing to you,
it seemed good to me also
to clarify to you about the vision,
so that you may know how the gods regard you.
I have also written it below in Egyptian,
so that you may know exactly.
When I was about to sleep,
I wrote two letters:
one concerning Tauchis from Thermouthis,
and one concerning Teteimouthis, daughter of Taues, who is the daughter of Ptolemaios,
and one more I placed as I was leaving.
...of the matter, just as I myself spent a good day.
Farewell. Year 2, Phaophi 25.
To brotherhood, to Achilleus.
