Translation into English

Greetings to the mothers and your brothers and their children and the wives.
I was saddened [ -ca.?- ] hearing from [Ophiel], [that] a child of Evangelos has passed away. [Why then] did you not send me [ ]? But send me,
if you wish, if the ships enter the Akorites. And you will say (*) to Ammonou[ti] to send me the bronze. For I have already learned, about eight months ago, that he has married. Greetings to those who love you.
(Year) k of the Emperor [ ] of Augustus - ca.12 - to Tryphon and Evangelos [ -ca.?- ]
