Hierocles to Zenon, greetings. If you are well and you are able to free yourself in other matters according to your mind, you will be doing well; I myself and Epharmostos are in good health. Callikles has sent a boy to the city of Herakles to bring something to him, whose name is Onesimos. Therefore, Ptolemy has also deemed it appropriate for him to come to you. Therefore, you would do well to buy a cloak and another summer tunic for Ptolemy and give it to the boy so that he may bring it, since you are making it longer, and Ptolemy is in debt; for hearing that he is well above, he has not bought anything from here. Farewell.

Hierocles to Zenon, greetings. If you are well and everything else is going according to your wishes, it would be good. I myself am healthy, as is Epharmostos. Kallikon has sent a boy named Onesimos to Herakleopolis to bring something back for him. Ptolemaios has also requested that he (the boy) come to you. Therefore, you would do well to buy a cloak and another summer garment (tunic) for Ptolemaios and give them to the boy so that he may bring them back, since you are taking longer, and Ptolemaios happens to be in need. For he heard that clothing was cheaper up there, so he did not buy it from here. Farewell.
