Democritus, greetings to Pythonikos. I have sent you the letter to Pausanias. Therefore, when you send Apollonios to us, bringing the things written to you, explain them to us immediately. Also,
[ -ca.?- ] ask for [ - ca.11 - ] and [ ̣ ̣ ] and [ ̣ ̣ ] so that it may be for 5 [foreign] phoenixes and having thrown them into the barley, give and also these to bring to us. To Ptolemaios, however, to send, if indeed you have not sent the librarian and the entrance. [ - ca.10 - ] he is in a state of hubris. About these things, I have also sent to Pausanias. Farewell.
