English Translation

Eudaimonis to Apollonios her son, very many greetings.
I was greatly pleased to hear that you are well, and your sister Soeris also.
From the day you sent to me, I sought the small Laconian vessel but did not find it; instead, I found a rotten Attalian one.
You know well that you gave half a litre and two drachmas(?) by weight for the small white garment.
Therefore, you are spending one litre and a stater by weight.
So buy and send it, so that it may quickly be sent to you.
I urge you, remain where you are, so that you do not cause me distress.
Greet your sister Aline.
Soeris thanks you very much and wrote me a letter about this.
The little daughter of Heraidous greets you and your mother.
(hand 2) Farewell, child.
Choiak 24.
(verso) To Apollonios, strategos of Apollonopolis.
