Translation into English

To Athyr, I have sent you the message through Nemesatos of Mysthos, on behalf of Eika, for whom Herakles the merchant has given me bronze. I also send you bronze; we do not have vinegar nor whole fish. Therefore, I have received everything from my friend Didymus, a tunic and a pallium. Farewell in the seventh year of the Emperor Caesar Domitianus, the August Germanicus, in the month of Athyr.

English Translation

On the 10th of Hathyr [uncertain text] I have sent you the reply through Nemesas, son of Mysthos, in exchange for Eikas, through whom Heraklas the merchant gave me copper. I am also sending copper to you; we do not have vinegar nor fresh oil. Therefore, I am sending to you; I have received everything from Didymos, my friend—a tunic and a small cloak.
Farewell.
Year 7 of Emperor Caesar Domitian Augustus Germanicus, month Hathyr, 25th.
