We have not yet known the (*) outcome or the conclusion of the matter. For concerning all the cloaks and the fifty-two pallia, we have taken care that [if] I became until the whole of these was received, and concerning the sticharia, some were cast out from them, of which you and Theotimos made the assembly in my absence. Therefore, let the question be about the loss and not about what you know, but I have come to know that not caring for us from which you have neglected for so long in Alexandria, you should not have agreed to the kinds or that you knew that you are handing me over concerning the (*) liturgy, I will depart so that my father does not (*) declare to me about the health (*) of my household. I pray for you for many years, my lord father.

"... concerning this matter, we do not yet know the resolution or outcome of the affair. For we have been unconcerned about all the cloaks and the fifty-two mantles, since I was present until the entirety of these was received. And concerning the tunics, some of those which you and Theotimos purchased during my absence have been discarded. Let the inquiry therefore be about the loss and not about what you know. I realized that you have not cared about us, given that you neglected for such a long time in Alexandria either to purchase the goods or because you knew that they were handing me over concerning the matter of the liturgy, that I might depart lest my father...

... you indicated something concerning the health of those in my household.
I pray that you remain in good health for many years, my lord father."
