To the most beloved brother Apollonios of Soukhion, greetings. May you do well. As soon as you have brought the letter, having arrived, enter it into the accounting office, so that you may record the remaining books. Since you have been detached from the smoothness, the demonstration has occurred. There are things that you must record quickly, the distributions of seeds and the accounts of all the land and others. Since the [missing text] is concerning what you have recorded, know that if you do not arrive immediately, the [missing text] scribe will give the name [missing text] in the account. I am making much effort for you, so that you may live [missing text]. Be well. (Year) e of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, since [missing text].
