To Antonis,
To Apollinarius,
Greetings to my dear brother and most beloved friend. I hope you are well, sisters. As for the matter of the sale of the kibe, let it remain until the gods will allow it. I hope you will send me Hermes, having [something]. If you find a ship, throw in my armor and send it to Hermes. If you do not find it, send me Hermes quickly on foot. And if he needs money for the purchase of bread, give it to him and also speak to me. Therefore, sisters, as I asked you about what I am writing. I wish you good health. If you are asked, do not let any of these things perish. Thus, having written, I commanded as to a brother and lord.
