Hermes[es] to Heracleides, the most honored,
greetings.
It seemed good to go out to Alexandria through Mareotes.
You should go with Ammonius to the general

You will receive from Ammonius (drachmas) not for the purchase of colored woolen garments, if you receive from Lamurios; but if not,
you yourself will use it.
If it pleases you, give to the camels
around Lamurios up to (drachmas) ϡ; if not, take him with his belongings and mules and
take care of him until I arrive.
You will receive from Ammonius two (drachmas). I wish you well, most honored.
