Helenia to Pompei:
To your father,
most excellent greetings,
and always good health.
I have bought you the olives.
They are asking from everywhere
for the piety of the temple of Suchus,
all men,
both Romans and Alexandrians and those living
in the Arsinoite region.
They are asking for Pompei.
We have not given
as of today, we are waiting
for you to come.
If it seems to you,
send.
If not, we will give again and you.
I have received the letter from the buyer.
We pray for you
that you may be well.
That you do not forget your children,
bring another letter
from your son Syrion.
We are overseeing you and Chariton and the children
of her.
And Pompei is
a small overseer of us.
(In the year)
of Nero Claudius Caesar,
Augustus Germanicus,
Emperor,
Tubi 23.
You are sending to Pompei
from Helenia.
