Translation into English

"These things, therefore, the winter of ours, may grant us quickly, having appointed a supervisor, so that it may be prepared quickly and not be destroyed in the open air for a longer time.

Send to you some myrrh, and as it may be from Crete, we do not endure him, but we will write to him and send the letter from you, and as soon as it may be, we will send it to you. We have also brought a portion of the young calf."
