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.
