Translation into English

To the esteemed Dorios,

To Phlelemuthis, the most ancient,

Greetings and good health.

Do not be afraid concerning the vessels which you have.

But ensure their safety,

even if the overseer himself comes asking; do not be afraid.

Ensure their safety and I said to Chairemon, "Do not give

not even one vessel to Epithymetos nor to Tryphonios unless you are safe."

As for the matter, the overseer has recognized that you have

a pledge, if he asks you about the iron.

Ensure their safety.

We do not know where they are located, so that

they may be arranged for you.

Fulfill your duties with diligence.

Be well.

In the year of Caesar, the month of Thoth.

[Dori]os Torieus sends warmest greetings and wishes good health to Flelemouthis.
Do not fear concerning the equipment which you have, but secure it. Even if the overseer himself comes asking, do not fear.
Secure them and say on behalf of Chairemon: "Do not give even one piece of equipment to Epithymetos nor to Tryphonion unless each item is secured for you."
Choosing (or understanding) that the steward has recognized that you have a pledge. If he asks you about the iron tools, secure them and say we do not know where they are placed, so that [ -ca.?- ]
[ -ca.?- ] it has been ordered for you to fulfill everything diligently.
Farewell.
(Year) 41(?) of the divine Caesar, month Thoth.
