Translation into English

Philonides greets his father. If you would do well, having made an effort, to write a letter to the king from Teleus. For it will not be the same if Satyros and Abas and others praise you. For Satyros is being sent away. It is said that he is in the shape of the servant. And Aristobulus also happened upon me and said that the matters of Androites will be delivered to you. For when the king was mentioned that he would not allow Androites to do justice, he said: Who would say if not sufficiently? But I have something to say about these things.

English Translation

Philonides to his father, greetings. You would do well to take care that a letter is written by Telestes to the king. For it will not be the same if Satyrus and Abas and [lacuna] praise you. For Satyrus has become discouraged [lacuna] in the role [lacuna] of a servant. Aristoboulos also met me several times and said he thought that the affairs of Androites would be settled for you. For when the king mentioned that no one [lacuna] Androites himself was able to do justice, he said: "Who [lacuna] suitable [lacuna]" and he said if not sufficiently [lacuna] but I have [lacuna] concerning these things [lacuna] they are held [lacuna] to Kleon.

Notes on the Apparatus Criticus (English)

• r.1. Read "[π]οιήσεις" ("you will do") instead of "[π]οήσαις".
• r.2. Fragmentary reading suggested by Smyly.
• r.4. Reading "σλ̣" proposed by Crönert and Skeat.
• r.6. Crönert suggests "καὶ ἔφησεν δ̣ί̣[δοσ]θαι" ("and he said it was being given"), Skeat suggests "καὶ ἔφησεν ο[ἴεσ]θαι" ("and he said he thought").
• r.7. Skeat suggests either "οὐθέ[ν]" ("nothing") or "οὐ θέλ[ειν]" ("not wanting").
• r.8. Crönert suggests "δ’ ὑ[πέμ]ενον" ("but they waited"), Skeat suggests "δυ[νάμ]ενον" ("being able").
• r.8. Correct reading is "ποιῆσαι" ("to do").
