Denon
Greetings to Zenon. I hear you have quickly left the necessary things.
Therefore, it was necessary for you not to be disturbed, to write to us so that we may know.
For we are always expecting you to be present.
Therefore, you will do well to take up the quickest and pay attention to your mind so that you may be stronger.
Write also if you have need of anything from us; for I do not think you are unaware that we will gladly do it.
Farewell. (Year) 36 of Hyperberetaios, 24.
