"Greetings to Zenodorus from Sarapion. Concerning that for which I have written to you about the wine and the vinegar, the former I have brought, but the latter is known. If it seems good to you, arrange to give it to the one bringing you the letter. Having done this, you will be very grateful to me, taking care of your body so that you may be healthy, and write to me about whatever you may choose from what is coming to you. Farewell. (Year(?))"

English Translation

Sarapion to Zenodoros, greetings. Concerning the jar and the vinegar about which I wrote to you, I have received the one with wine, but the one with vinegar [...] If it seems good to you, instruct your people to give it to the one who brings you this letter. By doing this, you will greatly oblige me. Above all, take care of your health, and write to me about whatever you choose from our affairs, so that it may be provided for you. Farewell.
