Lucresia
To Ammonian
with your
brothers
many greetings.
Know that we
wish that you are not able
to leave
these things and ascend, if you do not come
and keep these things.
Let all things be done so that
Thermuthis may depart to
Tanis
and may hasten
until he receives the exports.
Peter
four
of the three
baskets of wheat
in the measure of the eye
to Tanis.
And he asked Nephothian
where he may depart with
Thermuthius until he receives.
If you see
that you cannot choose,
take me
so that I may ascend
and he may hire
and may value the
harvest. If you are able
to take me,
and I will ascend.
Do not neglect to descend,
and write
about your salvation.
I wish
you health
with your
children
and all your
household.

Lucresia to the house of Gamikitos

English Translation

Lucretis to Ammonianos and his brothers, many greetings.
I want you to know that I am unable to leave things here and come up, unless you come and take care of things here.
Do everything so that Thermouthis may go to Tanis, and hurry until he receives the freight charges.
Petiris owes forty-three artabas, and also the forty artabas of wheat from the ten arouras, measured by your own measure, he has in Tanis.
Also, ask Nephotianos to go with Thermouthis until he receives (it).
If you see that you cannot finish, inform me so that I myself may come up and rent out and arrange the crop.
If you can inform me, I myself will come up. Do not neglect to come down, and write concerning your safety.
I pray that you are well, along with your children and all your household, whom I pray are in good health.
