Translation into English

I wrote to you, move from the ninth hour yesterday, so that you may be found in Sigeris at midnight, and having passed the things there today regarding the delay of the sun, I did not find you. I have declared to you again that you should come near me to Hermopolis, and until the sixth hour you did not come. Therefore, understand so that I may speak to you. But prepare to load the things sent to you from the granary of wheat, and do not send the baked clay until I speak to you, nor should you release the things that were released at the hour of the one who is worthy of all honor, Senouthios, the notary, and the one who is in charge of Taurus.
