To Apollonios, greetings to Mitrodoros. And previously I happen to be writing to you about those who are crossing into Memphis, the brewers, according to the custom, that they are hindered by Nikiratos from making the arrangement, and for this reason, having incurred a debt, the brewer is to withdraw still in the Choiakh, likewise, the one who has taken the purchase regarding these matters, having been addressed to me, I assumed that it was well to remind you again, so that there may not be a difference in the year. If otherwise it has been decided, as I also deemed at the beginning, if it seems good to you, you will do well to arrange for Nikiratos to take over the purchase. Farewell. (Year) 10 Tubi.

Apollonios to Metrodoros, greetings. I have previously written to you concerning the brewers who cross over to Memphis according to custom, that they are being hindered due to the instructions of Nikeratos regarding usage [...], and for this reason the brewer, having incurred additional debt, withdrew already in the month of Choiak, and similarly [...] the woman who took over the purchase at the sale. Since nothing has been communicated to me about these matters, I thought it best to remind you again, so that no dispute arises also in the 10th year. But if it has been decided otherwise, as I requested from the beginning, if it seems good to you, you will do well to instruct Nikeratos to take over the purchase. Farewell. Year 10, Tybi 9.
