Translation into English

Knowledge of those who are fleeing
of men
Therefore, along with the reading of this present letter, send this immediately.
Knowledge along with the other knowledges
I will find. But certainly, wherever I am, may the same knowledge grasp me through all brevity,
and the knowledge of the foreigners who are in your governorship
and send it to me.
Demand from the foreigners three
coins of each, and send me such gold
since it was not lightly written to me yesterday again about this. But certainly
do not neglect this
and release to me the knowledge of the fleeing men.
To my God-loving lord (and) brother Pope, the governor of Apollo, Above
Helladios.
