Translation

Outside, I will now attempt to arrive at both. It is necessary, therefore, to remain for both knowledge and for the sake of (*) what was given by Diogenes. It was already then in [hand(?)] and the entrance 15 in the Dionysodorus [̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣] concerning what you have compiled and not [ - ca.10 - ἐπα-]going(?). Philonides, the son of [who] (*) is to enter [towards the] king [ - ca.13 - ] a remarkable stone, and there are also other gifts (?) of Arsinoe (*), and it is also managed concerning the estate outside [ - ca.13 - ] (*) and of the twentieth year and the twentieth undertaking which he received [⁦ -ca.?- ⁩] concerning all [ - ca.9 - ] 10 remaining. Therefore, we will also lay this down so that nothing (*) disturbs the estate [⁦ -ca.?- ⁩] and Polycrates the happening to him from Philonides until now into [⁦ -ca.?- ⁩ Meche]ir g owes him a little, and concerning the twentieth (*) to you we have written that the number will be from the Arsinoeans. Nevertheless, we will inquire (*) more precisely. I have written to you so that you may know (*). Thus, assume that it is easier to manage everything in your presence.

English Translation

"...outside I sent [...] now [...] arrive [...]
Therefore, I will try to come having both. It is therefore necessary [...]
to remain, both for the sake of knowledge and because of what was not [...] from Diogenes.
They were given and were already placed at that time into [the] hand(?), and the entrance [...]
in the place of Dionysodoros [...] concerning which you arranged and not [...] being brought in(?).
Philonides [the son], who has permission to enter [to] the king [...],
a valuable gem, and there is also a tritonis (a garment or object) and other gifts(?) Arsinoean; and the matters concerning the plot of land have also been arranged [...]
and he undertakes the twentieth year and the twentieth [...] which he received [...] concerning all things [...]
Therefore, we will pay this also, so that the plot of land may not be troubled [...]
and Polykrates owes a small amount to him from Philonides up to now, until Mecheir 3; and concerning the twentieth we wrote to you that a number will come from the Arsinoeans. Nevertheless, we will inquire more precisely. Therefore, I wrote to you so that you may know. Thus, consider that everything is managed more vigorously when you are present."
