I embrace Pouti and his son; I embrace Aeon; I embrace Arion; I embrace Heracles; I embrace Amer; I embrace the brother of Amers; I embrace all of Nilarios; I embrace Apoutis with his brother Syros; I embrace Hereu; I embrace Keimai and his brother Parin; I embrace Papeyis; I embrace Papnoutis, the brother of Anubion; I embrace Heracles; I embrace Herminus the reader; I embrace Hor of Takhmuro; I embrace Lotus; I address Aleitis; I embrace all of Horion. I write to you, all of Neferous; as I have come out from you, thanks to God, I have come to Ombo; I address you many times.

I embrace all of Ota and Cassis. I embrace Paesis and I embrace Peter and Horion. I embrace those in the monastery, both small and great; I embrace Serapion of Takhmuro; I embrace Capitone; I embrace you all, the brothers, that you may pray for me. I write to you, Neferous, you will take care of the little land; as I come, but do not neglect, most honorable father, but do not neglect to take the grains, as I come; put them in the cemetery, as I come, Neferous, as I come, I wish you well, father. For many times, from Neferous the elder, from Serapion the monk to the village of M-.
