To the beloved brother Amennos,
greetings in the Lord from Meios.
I give thanks to God for your complete well-being.
May He grant you to be safe from all harm.
We know your earnestness and your love for us; because of God you do these things, and I pray that He may repay you for the love you show.
For you do it for Him. I will write to you, brother; for I have heard that you are in the linen district.
If it is possible, send me a few things in a few days, since the deer are disappearing.
If you do not have anything in the linen district, you will quickly find something elsewhere.
Simply send me a few things, and I will send them to you in return, for I know that you do more than I have said to you.
I have sent you a skin from the deer; I greet all those in the house by name.
The Lord God keep you safe.
