Cleosthenes to Pythonikos, greetings.
Democritus has written to me.
It has been written that you, Ptolemaios, the choregos, have sailed to [Kopton],
and it has been arranged that he will give you the [stroma] there.
Therefore, write to us who {is} assigned, so that I may come and take the stroma; and do not do otherwise.
For I will remain in Kopto until something is addressed to me from you.
Farewell. (Year) 16, Mesore 24.
