To my beloved Lord Father
and Brother Nepher, Paul.
I have now received grace, that you have deemed us worthy to write. Know now that I have accomplished
the six bonds of ten thousand ninety-four, of which he has agreed to give
five from the ten thousand twelve, and ten from the wetness of ten thousand and one of iron.
Twenty-three thousand, as to make the total of ninety thousand, and four other thousands remain.
Therefore, I deemed it necessary to write to you in the first instance, so that
you may remember us in your prayers, and then also to make these things known to you.
As you have made known to us through letters concerning Horion, know that
in the encampment, it is necessary for me to give him the silver, and until now he has given nothing.
But if it seems good to you, write about this matter, since he has promised to give, so that you may receive your letters with respect and be provided.
As for those things, we will make known through letters.
We greet all our beloved brothers
first Ammonius,
and if Papnouthis neglects the grain, let him know that he will be compelled to swear about this, so that he does not receive him in assembly.
To my beloved Father [Nepher] [Paul].
