"It was not necessary for me to be overwhelmed by your wonder until this moment, so much so that I was grieved. But since it has been written to me about this, where it has been written to Callinicus the secretary, and I have been written to by your virtue. Therefore, I ask that the carpet be sent to me through Pousi the secretary, so that I may cease from this grief, and you may take care to honor my customs."
