Agammon
To Apollo, my brother, greetings. You will do well if you tell Heron about the bronze, to give it to him, as he has need of it. And behold, I have sent linen threads; if you find it possible to sell the existing value, sell it. Behold, I also have three talents from the lenders.

English Translation

Agamon
to Apollonios,
his brother, greetings.
You will do well, if Heron speaks to you about copper,
to give it to him, as he has need of it.
And behold, I have sent bundles of flax; let him load them.
If you find an opportunity to sell them at the current price, sell them.
Behold, I also have three talents with the bankers.
