Translation into English

Dioscorus to Mnisetheus:
And you are in good health. You write that you have received the honor.
I have written to you about this matter.
I call upon you to release me, for in the time of many troubles, you write to me thus.
I have been established towards him (?),
and nothing (?).
I have written to you about the silver until they come.
I count and do not take care of the oil before you receive the honor.
I have arranged this for him for the sake of the ship.
And you, concerning whatever need you may have,
if you have a woman until I arrive (?);
the honor of the oil upon the (?).
If the honor is not safe.
To Mnisetheus.
