(No Latin text was found in the document.)
To the most genuine and most luminous,
to the most blessed beloved and God,
who is mindful,
and filled with the Holy Spirit,
and most precious,
from the Lord God,
to all the beloved,
in the Lord Jesus Christ,
greetings.
Before all, I pray for you the fullness from the Lord God.
— These letters I have written in this paper,
so that you may read them with joy
and with utmost peace,
from the Holy Spirit and with joyfulness to God,
and with hospitality and patience,
being filled with the Holy Spirit. Therefore, I write to you, most genuine
and most trustworthy,
to all the beloved from the Lord God,
that you may lift up your hands to the Lord God
as it is fitting,
and may be mindful of me through my humble and troubled state,
and may not disregard the light of the sun,
so that God may nullify the handwriting
of my sins through the most trustworthy
prayers of the most holy ones. Therefore, you should know,
most genuine and most blessed,
that when I was in the island of Memphis,
I was with the most holy brothers and they made concerning me the covenant
that is with God, being mindful and serious,
blessed by the Holy Spirit,
and to all the beloved and to all the Orsenufius and to all the Surus and to all the Peve and Paul,
presbyters from Tienai and Antinous,
and the sons of Tuan, Uenafri,
and to all the Mikalonin,
so that it may be delivered to me
from Surus, to his monastery. And I remained
in the garden, and I remained
until the Phamenoth,
and as many as I went out, I went out into the
and now I have fallen into a diabolical offense.
Therefore, do everything, beloved,
most genuine and most worthy,
before the Lord God, with great hospitality,
of the Holy Spirit to God, being mindful,
both night and day,
you may beseech the Lord God of all,
who is in heaven, in the Father, and he who is in the Father in heaven,
that he may give me into your hands.
Weakly, therefore,
a whole burnt offering of the Holy Spirit.
Not only have I written these things,
but I have also written to the all Ammon and to the all Peve
and to the things above, to Mikalonin,
through me, I Horion, so that they may lift up
their most holy hands to God
with all their hearts as it is fitting,
and may not deprive me
and may not disregard me,
but to whom God is merciful and compassionate,
so may you also be merciful and compassionate
through me, being diligent
towards God.
Therefore, do everything, beloved,
so that you may write according to the monastery
and to the all Surouti and to the all Peve,
so that they may also be merciful towards me,
calling upon the Lord with great diligence
of the Holy Spirit to God, being mindful,
so that they may also write with all their hearts
through me to the things above,
in the monastery, commanding
concerning me to pray for me
that God may be long-suffering and merciful.
