Translation into English

From Pekyllos to the village leaders of Dositheus.
Many officials are being sought and are being stolen by you,
and I still endure for the honor
(*)
of the village.
Therefore, take care and deliver the one being sought
to the village leader of Psobtheos, do not
(*)
let us neglect the service.
But also take care to deliver the others.
For as I have previously said, I did not approach the general
for the honor
(*)
of the village, not yours.

(hand 2) ⟦I have been diminished⟧
⁦ vac. ? ⁩
(hand 3) I have diminished myself.
