Translation into English

Heracleides, greetings to Helen. Since I was raised from you and I am not able to descend, you will do well by having foreseen to cut the reed, using the wages until I descend. And send me the fruits so that I may bring you the self-sufficient ropes. From Alexandria, to Helen from Heracleides.

English Translation

Herakleides to Helen, greetings.
Since I have been supported by what comes from you and am unable to come down,
you will do well to arrange for the small reed-bed to be cut, advancing the wages until I come down.
And send me the fruit-baskets so that they may bring down to you the sufficient ropes.
From Alexandria.
To Helen from Herakleides.
