and in all health.

Of the age groups recorded for the years 5 of the years of folklore, these are the drachmas.

He has given nothing to the agents of the knife-bearers. Until the counting, be careful as much as you can do and demand. Demand all the age groups and bring them to a small number in the counting. If you have Bellen with you, he will rejoice in him. Send him up to the Petaians, a son.

(hand 2) Herakleides to Diogenes, greetings and continual good health.
(hand 1) For those minors registered according to the years, for year 8 (of the year), these are the drachmas for the poll-tax of so many years.
(hand 2) No one has given a sword-bearer to the collectors. Until the counting, hurry as much as you can to act and demand payment. Demand payment from all the minors and reduce the number to a small amount for the counting. If you have Belles with you, keep him. You will send the son up to Petaisis.
