English Translation

Herodes to Apollonios, his lord, greetings.
I have received your letter reminding me of the tasks entrusted to me and the works being carried out, in which you indicate what is fitting to your rank and character, to which I am obligated to diligently attend. That I am doing this without interruption will be testified to you when you come, either by the matters themselves or by the works.
Already, according to your instructions, Herakleios the steward, apart from the imported timber, has the completion of the timber on site before his eyes. The first chamber is already [unclear], but the Boubastiakos is approximately [unclear] not yet built upon the cells, since [unclear] they are for Apollonios the assistant for clarification, if Herakleios finds opportunity and succeeds [unclear] the timber in the other chamber on the tower, according to the lady's command, I have secured, so that no one [unclear] the tower, unless there is need of the large timbers placed there for the work, solely for transport; for I have made the other timber [unclear].
