† Having packed three hundred eighty-four figs, I have now sent them in six baskets to my God-protected master through the present men. The letter-carrier arrived [...] having been sent by my fellow-servants Kalos and Georgios, the distinguished ones, with letters addressed to me, because the heirs of the blessed Isapollon had initiated proceedings against them concerning public matters [...] of Kollouthios, and because they had given them a remainder of about 2623 nomismata, 14 solidi, owed to them until the fourth indiction, and supposedly that I should come to Athribis and meet with the illustrious Zacharias. I do not refuse [...] even if a death penalty has now been decreed [...] the master dies [...] Nevertheless, I have acted differently towards him, and he did not pay attention to what I said until last year, and my master, I think, is not unaware of this. For I and my fellow-servant Theodore came together last year, and as I said, he did not heed our words [...] Having heard the death penalty, I depart. And now, if our Savior God himself grants anything, it will happen. My master has written to send one pound of gold from the price of wine and [...] from the produce of the fifth harvest. But when I wrote to you to negotiate, thinking you wished to trade from the new produce [...] I wrote as if I had come [...] to negotiate [...] with those who have not yet arrived. My aforementioned fellow-servant Theodore has also written to me and to the goldsmith not to spend anything [...] of the gold set aside, and I saw Ioannakios the reverend holding gold here. I report these matters to you, and if it is profitable [...] to send you some of the reserved gold, write to me how much [...] to send, and I will immediately dispatch it. For if I go to Athribis without gold, I cannot [...] concerning the fifth harvest, gold matters, and the contribution [...] a friend of my fellow-servant, my uncle, was found. He respected me and my appearance when I was in Babylon because of the ornament of my uncle [...] Babylon, adding that [...] for the seals concerning the same public matters and promises [...] and he also did not wish you to collect [...] as he was coming to Memphis and brought me letters [...] from lord Zacharias instructing to pay him [...] I make receipts for him [...]
