Translation into English

Greetings, child Phania,
(from) Dorion.
I gladly learned that you have returned safe and I have gratitude to the Polieus Sarapides that he has restored you.
There were many things troubling me, child Phania, so that I did not tremble, as you perhaps do not know;
I pray that we all act according to reason.
For perhaps, having received better fortunes, we will be able to act again as we wish.

English Translation

Greetings, my child Phanias,
from Dorion.
I was glad to hear that you have returned safely,
and I give thanks to Sarapis Polieus
that he has restored you to health.
Many things have troubled me, my child Phanias,
so that I have not been at ease,
things which you yourself perhaps are not unaware of.
But I pray that we may all fare according to our wishes;
for perhaps, obtaining better fortune,
we shall again be able to act as we desire.
