Translation

To my most honorable and most reverent lord, Abba John, Abraham, greetings in the Lord God.
As I also believe that it is intended for me and my household, I give thanks for your piety.
Thus, I know that your sacred presence is in my thoughts.
Therefore, I call upon your reverence through these my writings, that you may remember me and my household, who always offer prayers to the Lord our Savior.
For I trust that through your most holy prayers and this labor, we may be freed and return to you.
Therefore, O lord, truly man of God, grant that we may be remembered.
Call upon all my brothers who are with you.
May the Almighty God protect you for a long time with us, the sinners, so that through your most holy prayers we may be saved through life.
