Translation into English

To Zeno, greetings. You write to me in order to take care of Moschus. But I, having arrived quickly, found him being at the place of Ptolemy (?). After he was taken to the prison, he was being held. Having arrived at the 19th, he will be distinguished at the tribunal if it seems good to you; I will also be present myself as you return.
