Greetings.
[Rejoicing] I write to you and
I pray that you may be healthy and cheerful.
May the letters be given to you. Of the blessings
it is also necessary to remember us while you are writing to others,
so that we may have greater joy, knowing
through whom you send us your desired salvation and health.
May we quickly enjoy the greatest joy upon you;
for which we pray and hope to obtain from the grace of the Almighty God,
having you restored in both soul and body
and well released. Be cheerful also
regarding our sons
Anysios and Aphthonios, that they are healthy and doing what is necessary,
taking care of the matters together and the services,
and their sisters are also healthy with their mother and all those
in your household. Your sister greets you many times
and our children
and all those in our household.
I pray that you may be well for many
years, dear brother, and may we quickly receive you
cheerful in all things.

Theophanes Hermodoros.

[Herm]odoros
greetings.
Rejoicing myself, I write to you and pray that the letter finds you in good health and cheerful spirits.
It is fitting that, when writing to others, you also remember us, so that we may have greater joy, knowing through your letters your much-desired safety and health.
May we soon enjoy the greatest joy in your presence, which we pray and hope to obtain by the grace of Almighty God, receiving you strong in soul and body and having successfully completed your affairs.
Rejoice also concerning your sons, Anysios and Aphthonios, because they are healthy and doing what is necessary, taking care of their affairs and duties. Your daughters are also healthy, along with their mother and everyone in your household.
Your sister greets you warmly, as do our children and everyone in our household.
I pray that you remain in good health for many years, dear brother, and that we may soon receive you in every way joyful.
