Arrhios Eudaimon to Dionysios, his brother, greetings.

I have received this first and only letter of yours through Sarapiakos.

As for him, may he be well and may he be engaged in his works, and may he be mindful of me, having been saved; you are doing well.

And I expect you to come according to what has been sent to you regarding the agreement.

My wife and the children greet you.

From us, you should address the Cyrillics and the mother of Stephanus Demetrios.

I wish you to be well, most honored brother.

To Dionysios (hand 1?) brother, general of Apollonopolis (hand 4) from Arrhios Eudaimon.
