Translation into English

"To the most honorable Ischyrion, greetings.
I have sent to you through Heracleides, the brother of Chairemon who is in Bac-
chias (formerly) the secretary (*), of Moithymetos from the wine of Knidia three;
therefore send to Moithymis the one who is able to take from him;
for Damaeus was not able to take because he does not have a donkey.
And the rest and the things, if I find a donkey (*), I will send [it]
through the donkey without care. (*)
I wish you to be well, dear friend, wishing you good fortune in all things.
[To] Antoninus ☓ from [Ischyrion]."

English Translation

Ischyrion to Antoninus, the most honored, greetings.
I have sent you through Herakleides, the brother of Chairemon, formerly the secretary in Bacchias, three Knidian jars of wine from Moithymis. Therefore, send someone capable of receiving them to Moithymis, for Dameas was unable to take them because he had no donkey. As for the remaining items and the pickled fish, if I find a donkey, I will send them without worry through the donkey-driver.
I pray that you remain in good health, my dearest friend, prospering along with your entire household.
To Antoninus from Ischyrion.
