To my lord Peter,
Papnouthios,
(*)
greetings.
As I have set forth to you the marship of the treasure,
give it back to him who has given it to you,
(*)
these are my letters to you; for you have not given me anything.
Now therefore, give them back right away,
since I am in a foreign land and cannot come to them,
having need of them.
I greet you,
(*)
I, Nilammon, who wrote this letter and all the brothers by name.
