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.
