ἓν μέγα πρόβατον ἔσφαξ[α καὶ ἔπ]εμψα ἵνʼ ἁλίσῃ αὐτὸ ἡ κυρα μου μετὰ οἴνου ὡς θελε καὶ γράψατέ μοι, ἐ[ὰ]ν καλῶς εγ̣ω[̣ ] τ̣ὸ ἄριστον τῶν δύο παιδίων. ἐὰν δὲ ἦλθεν ὁ ἀδελφός μου, γράψατέ μοι. [Δαμιανὸς] ὁ Κυρισίου υἱὸς ἐδήλωσέν μοι διὰ τὸν οἶκον. ε̣ἶ̣δ̣ε̣ τω οἰκονωμω καὶ ἐὰν ἀ̣ρ̣[έσκ]ει αὐτῷ τὸ πρᾶγμα, δώση τὸ χρυσίον. ἀπε͂λ̣[θ]ε καὶ ὁ ἀδελφός μου καὶ εἴδη τὸ πρᾶγμα. ἐὰν καλώς ἐστι ὁ οἶκος καὶ ἀρέσκει αὐτῷ πα̣[ ] τὸ πρᾶγμα, καὶ ὡς εἶπον, δώση τὸ χρυσίον ὁ ἀββᾶς Δαμιανὸς ἄχρις οὗ ἔλθ[̣] ἀπόδ(ος) εἰς τὸ ὁσπίτι(ον) [ ] τοῦ Φοιβάμμων(ος)
Apparatus
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.
