Translation into English

To the elder Pichaius of Myiotus, greetings from Theon, son of Leonides. I am away from you due to the lack of writing materials of the first year of Emperor Caesar Nerva Trajanus Augustus Germanicus. Two drachmas of silver make three obols (the second year of Emperor Caesar Nerva Trajanus Augustus Germanicus). I, Horion of Hierakos, wrote this on his behalf because he did not know the letters.
