Translation into English

"He engages in the pursuit in which he is both honored and glorified, and your love for her is well-formed, doing good to her relatives every day. I sing praises for the benefits and bear witness to those who hear, not to believe; for concerning me, as she has infinitely, she convinces the least. Leaving behind time with a young woman of many colors and honor, the twelve coins of the previous letter of the Lord, and of the brother of the Lord Theodoros, neither having written to him the letter nor descending a second time on the day, it is heavy for me to trouble you further about this. Many of you, to the Lord, with me after God, food."

"... practices that for which she takes pride and by which your affectionate care is magnified(?), doing good to her own people every day(?), while I sing praises of the kindnesses and bear witness, yet am not believed by those who hear. For concerning me ... having infinite(?) ... she persuades least of all ... having left behind time with graying hair that is youthful and honored ... and concerning the twelve coins from the previous letter of the lord ... and those of the brother of the lord Theodore, neither having set aside(?) ... having written him the note and nothing ... coming down again on the second day ... to trouble you further about this is burdensome to me.
