"And if you wish, write to me all that you wish. It is kept until today your little cocoon. And I have sent him to Syria once more and I have carried him to me. I wish you well. I keep it safe. Peteus, who writes to me this letter, greets you very much and your wife and your daughter and Basso your brother. And he himself indeed loves you, brother. If you wish to come and take me with you, wherever you may take me, I will follow you and as I love you, may God love me. I wish you well. (In the year) 17 of the Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian, of the Mesopotamians. And do not hesitate to write letters, for I was very glad as you were born. From which you sent me the letter, I will be saved."
καὶ εἴ τι θέλις γράψον μοι πάντα ἃ θέλις. ἀπόκιται ἕως σήμερον τὸ κοκκούλιόν σου. καὶ πέπομφαν αὐτὸν εἰς Συρίαν ἄλλο ἅπαξ καὶ ἀνόκνως ἐνήνεχάν μοι αὐτόν. ἐρρῶσθαί σοι εὔχομαι. φυλάσσω αὐτό. Πετεεῦς ὁ γράφων μοι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν ἀσπάζεται σοι λίαν λίαν καὶ τὴν γυναῖκάν σου καὶ τὴν θυγατέραν σου καὶ Βάσσον τὸν ἵππον σου. καὶ [...] αὐτὸς μὲν γάρ σε, ἄδελφε, ἐρωτῶ σε. ἐὰν δὲ θέλῃς ἐλθεῖν καὶ λάβῃς με μετʼ ἐσοῦ ἔρχου, καὶ ὅπου ἐὰν λάβῃς με ἀκολουθήσω σοι καὶ ὡς φιλῶ σε ὁ θεὸς ἐμὲ φιλήσει. ἐρρῶσθαί σοι εὔχομαι.

And if you want anything, write to me everything you want. Your cloak has been stored until today. And I have sent it again to Syria, and they have brought it to me without delay. I pray that you are well. I am keeping it safe. Peteeus, who is writing the letter for me, greets you very warmly, and your wife, and your daughter, and Bassos your horse. And [...] indeed, brother, I myself ask you. If you wish to come and take me with you, come, and wherever you take me, I will follow you. And as I love you, may God love me. I pray that you are well.
(Year) 17 of Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, Mesore 30, according to the Greeks.
