To the governor,

the appointed one, we are to be called.

As for you, I will ask you not to overlook your sister until you return.

If I happen to be in Memphis, I will write to you.

Strengthen your son; I embrace Diodora, the mother, and Dion and Dionysia, the little one, and the children. Farewell.
