Hierocles to Zenon, greetings. Apollodorus, who is delivering to you our letters, is a friend. Therefore, he is sailing to the city of Heraclea. We have sent him to bring us garments and tunics. You would do well to arrange for him [ ̣ ̣ ̣ with Dehi and Lysimachus] so that they may write to him letters to the upper guard, as he may use them with gratitude.
And [ ̣ ̣ ̣ ] to him, arrange with the tax collector. (*)
[I have written also] to the general in the city of Heraclea (*)
concerning him, so that all necessary things may be done for him.
Hierocles concerning Apollodorus Nikanores. (Year) 38, of Xandicus, in (*)
Memphis.

Hierocles to Zenon, greetings. Apollodoros, who is delivering our letters to you, is our friend. He is sailing up to Heracleopolis. We have instructed him to bring down to us cloaks and tunics. Therefore, you would do well to introduce him to [...]des and Lysimachos, so that they may write letters for him to the upper guard-post, so that they may treat him kindly. Also introduce him to [...]imachos, the tax-collector. I have also written to the strategos (military commander) in Heracleopolis concerning him, so that everything necessary may be done for him.
