Great greetings to you, Olympian.
I marvel how I have forgotten my commands, of which I have often instructed you face to face, concerning the continuous declaration to me first about your salvation,
then about all that you have done in Sarbitis, knowing that I am not a little anxious. And yet many are coming down to me even now.
Therefore, write to me about all things concerning you and safely do all things, and if you find anything to buy, buy all the silver,
so that you may easily come down to me with them. However, be sure to manage everything well and safely, and thus come down to me before winter.
I pray for you to be strong, my lord.

ἐρρῶσθαι, δέσποτα, σὲ εὔχομαι.
Megas to Olympios, greetings.
I am astonished how you have forgotten my instructions, which I repeatedly gave you face-to-face, concerning your regularly informing me, first about your safety, and then about everything you have done in Sarbittis, knowing that I am greatly anxious. And yet, although many people have come down to me, even now, putting everything else aside, write to me about all your affairs, and do everything safely. And if you find whole olives to buy, spend all the money to buy them, so that you may easily come down to me with them. Make every effort, however, to manage everything well and safely, and thus come down to me before winter.
Farewell, master; I pray for your health.
