Asclepiades to Polycrates, greetings. We have a necessary need of Timoxenus so that we may send him to the city. Therefore, you will do well by writing to him to perform the service for us.
To Aristodemus. If you are well, I too am in good health. We have deemed it necessary to send Timoxenus to Alexandria for some urgent need. He would not be able to sail without you. Therefore, you will do well by instructing him to perform the service. For it is a favor to me that he does this.

Asklepiades to Polykrates, greetings. We have an urgent need of Timoxenos, so please send him to the city. You will do well, therefore, to write to him to perform this service for us. Farewell.
(hand 2) To Aristodemos. If you are well, it would be good; I too am in good health. Wishing to send Timoxenos to Alexandria for a certain urgent matter, we requested him. But he said he could not sail without you. You will therefore do well to instruct him to perform this service. You will please me by doing this.
(hand 1) To Polykrates.
