Indeed, I had in mind to encourage you through the bricks of the Lord Epiphanius and they have poured out and I therefore encourage you through the Lord. The name of you is slandered for nothing, as it is said, and they have given bricks and neither have they been assigned from you nor have they received anything on behalf of them. Therefore, see the matter of you and do not let the citizen be neglected, calculating against you, but all as it is fitting to love and worship you. As present, I genuinely greet you to my God-loving lord (and) brother Senouthes, with a letter.

† Indeed, I intended to urge you concerning the bricks of lord Epiphanius, and they have drawn away (?). Therefore, I urge you by the lord [...] your name is being slandered [...] for nothing. As he says, they gave bricks and neither were they ordered by you nor did they receive anything at all for them. Therefore, see to your matter and do not allow a citizen to reckon against you, but rather (let) all (be) as is fitting, loving and honoring you. As if present, I genuinely greet you. †
† To my God-protected master and brother (?) Senouthes, comes (count) and chartularius (secretary), Theophylaktos. †
