Translation into English

Since you have written to me that if I do not receive (the coins), I do not take them; tomorrow and the lawful [

the house of the steward if not I; rather, brother, you do not know [that

from the gold which we received; for to Alphius (the coins)

to Xer[ ... ] (the coins)

another coin, and other coins and many other things I have tasted. Therefore, the lord [

I have to act shamefully near all the foreseen; behold [

all the ambiguous things they heard from the committee, that these [

go out to the feast the helper providing for you [

do these things. I remember, brother, that John the stableman said

Martha provides. And now you have written that according to

your strengths [

payment; and I for I am defending you. You know, brother, that other coins are sought [

and let us not take them. The lord lives, said the steward, that if he remains low [

the necessity of the pitiful one has the priest to give from the own [

I know simply, let there be no negligence, so that they do not die [

me. Farewell.

For the sake of God, send me, since I have need, brother.
