"To my brother Dioscurides, who is my brother, those who take these things and promise to provide with prayer, they agreed to take (drachmas) and to provide a document in which the Roman and their interpretation were written. Again, having gone back to them, they said that the arrangements had been made. They considered that it would be better to give the drachmas and to send them. And you, whether you have received nothing or have neglected; therefore, these things that have been done are. He promised that when he went out, he would inform him of what had been entrusted to him by the council, to inform him of these things and of what had been done regarding the release. And Criton, the son of Epimachus, having brought me these letters of the one who requested from you the coin that was sent. This, having learned, my brother Dioscurides made him to be restored, and it is just to be placed. And I, from the helpers of Didymus, will write to you something else that I may find. I greet you by name, your children, with whom I pray that you may be strong in the Lord God."
