Claudius Terentianus to Tiberianus, my father and lord, greetings. First of all, I pray that you are in good health, which is what I wish for, and I myself am also in good health, making your worship every day before the lord Sarapis and the associated gods. I want you to know that I was unable to come to New City, being ordered to stay away from you, for I was so affected by the illness that I could not write to you for five days, nor could I even leave the gate of the camp. I thank God that after five days, I have not experienced such a disturbance, since I have found the violators of the laws. I am more inclined to your grace. For I am in danger of diagnosis if I do not also have another grace. I ask you to write back to me about how things are going. Please greet my mother and lady many times and tell her to send me my funds. As for the rest, send me the necessary things.
