Translation into English

I have sacrificed a great sheep and sent it so that my lady may enjoy it with wine as she wishes, and write to me if I am well regarding the best of the two children. If my brother comes, write to me. Damian, the son of Kyrius, has informed me about the house. He saw the steward and if the matter pleases him, he will give the gold. My brother has left and has seen the matter. If the house is good and pleases him, as I said, the abbot Damian will give the gold until he comes back to the house of Phoibammōn.
