Greetings to my lord Romas Rumatios. I pray to the gods to grant you health. I know, my lord, that you have done all things beautifully towards me and I have many graces from you, and I have not returned any lack from them to my lord. But now, if God wills and we live and see each other, I will repay you five times if I owe you anything and all the beautiful things you have done towards me, may God repay you. But now let me take care of your daughter Bithilaas, you will send her with the Ibanian Cassianus, the foreigner. According to the god and your salvation, I will do well and I will not send him through Ibanian. If God wills, I will send you in a few days what I owe you, without interest, and other (denarii), since I gladly come from there. I and you and Sadallathos have a sign that we have eaten together. I come and leave to you a bridle for the horse. Please send me Sadallathos, my brother. Let me take care of you, send Bithilaas to me. I have written to you a letter from Dysarios, and I have come to Ressa.
