None extracted.
To a certain Apollonius, general, greetings from the city of Apollonopolis (of the Seven Towns).
Indeed, you seem to me to be obliged to take me along with those whom I consider necessary.
Who is Phibas, the one who has sent you the letter, a man who has been tried?
And you have had the opportunity to see clearly where you were able to be of service to your good.
And I hope that you will do this for me and for your whole homeland with grace.
And you, brother, concerning what you wish, allow it. I wish you to be well, dear brother.
Be well.

[With my whole household indeed ...]

You seem to me ...

this letter to you, a man experienced
