No Latin text was extracted from the document.
To the ship, greetings to the brother. I have written to you two letters. Take care of it through Ammon. One from the desert guard, one from the interpreter. The other is to you. The one who is coming to Alexandria from Apelles. Whoever ascends to the royal (place) to work. From the leader, and concerning the army, another is coming. Let him be diligent. I am greatly reproaching you since the daughter of Thracian has escaped, I think, having set forth the written (documents) in the ship. This one is to you.
