To Apolonous of Thermouthas, greetings to your mother. Above all, we pray for you, along with Apolonarios. I want you to know that I heard from those who have come to me that you were ill, and I was glad to hear that you are well. I ask you greatly and urge you to take care of yourself and the little one until you pass through the winter, so that we may find you well. For we are all in good health. And concerning Syria, up to now, there is nothing bad. I ask you if you hear anything about Thermouthas, send me word. I ask you, it is not a matter, if you find anyone coming down, send us news about our health and that of the little one. I ask you and urge you, if it is possible, to see the little one three times a day, it seems to me to be in your care. I will send you the fish. For my own has not yet come to be. If you find any honor in Thermouthas, sell it. At the same time, send back to us what you have taken from me, the alektoros. There are twelve tarichoi and twenty-two kopta for the little one, and give her one each. Look after Gaius greatly and Thermouthas and Isidorus and Diogenes, and we greet Apolonarin. We are looking after Ammia and her child. We are looking after you always. We are looking after Heran and her children. Tubig. Send back to Philadelphia to Thermouthas.
