Philonides, greetings to your father. You are doing well if you are healthy; I myself am also healthy. We have written to you in the previous letters that we have neither the letters nor the cloths. As soon as we receive them, we will send them. Know that Satyr is in Memphis, suffering from illness and undergoing treatments in the Asclepius. Be well. (Year) -ca.?-

English Translation

Philonides to his father, greetings. You do well if you are in good health; I myself am also well. We wrote to you also in previous letters that we have neither the [...] nor the linen cloths. Therefore, as soon as we receive them, we will send them. Know also that Satyros is in Memphis, sick and undergoing treatments in the temple of Asklepios. Farewell.
