Alexander to Zenon, greetings. If you are well and in other matters [according to reason] you are able to relieve us, it would be as we wish. We are also well. When Myus came to you, it seemed to us better to send a memorandum to him and to Myus concerning the arrangement which we have made (*). Menetus. Under this, neither have we received the debt owed to us since that time when he (*). No one gives it back to us. I thought it would be good to write to you how, if you have any need of your matters, you may assist us honorably for our sake and for Menetus. For I know that if you wish, everything humane will be with Apollonius for us, and we will be able through you to be saved (*) and to be raised up. Concerning these things, we will strive and we ourselves, as far as it is possible for us, will give you the thanks.
