To Ktesippus and Ptolemaios, greetings to all who are in the tent. You are doing well.
If you are in good health. I am also well. Having come to Androtele, I found
everyone in good health and Berenike, the daughter, having given birth to a female child,
and everything has happened to her according to reason. Therefore, I say, as you have requested,
to send the quickest message, so that you and Ptolemaios, what you promised
in Hierai Nēsos, may prepare, so that when I come, I may take it.
Take care also of Androtele, the father, and doing this, it will be a favor to me.

To Ktesippos, to Ptolemaios, and to all those in the camp, greetings. You do well if you are in good health. I myself am also well. Upon arriving at Androteles' place, I found everyone in good health, and Berenike, his daughter, has given birth to a girl, and everything has gone according to expectation. Therefore, as you requested that I inform you as quickly as possible, please prepare the promised good-news gifts (εὐαγγέλια), which you and Ptolemaios pledged at Hier[a] Nesos, so that I may receive them upon my arrival. Also, take care of Androteles, the father; by doing this, you will please me.
