Translation into English

I have [something].
And to me
and to the son of Koleus
the due [thing] as it was said
about the desert, so that
whatever he can gather for me into
the departure. I have written
also to Apollonius
the Thot [ ], so that
whatever he can take from this into
the voyage.
And Horus Kelesios should approach those
who have been written down;
if they do it willingly, it is best;
but if not, you should sail;
but if not, send me a letter so that
they may succeed in [something].
I received [something] from
someone
of Psenobastis (drachmas).
I am held here
until I perceive the
matters concerning the letter of Protar-
chus, which he wrote to the places.
Farewell. (Year)
17, Mesore
22.
Approach Koleus
and Apollonius;
I have written also to them
so that they may give you whatever
they can, so that
we may have the necessities.

English Translation

"...I have... [unclear]
...to me... [unclear]
and to Koleutes, the son,
the appropriate interest as he calculated
the deserted (land?), so that
he may lend me whatever he can
for the transport. I have also written
to Apollonios, son of Thot[...],
so that he too may take from this
whatever he can for the voyage.
Having Horos, son of Kelesis, approach
those previously mentioned;
if they do these things willingly,
excellent; but if not,
sail down yourself; if not,
send me a letter so that
they may obtain the [unclear].
⟦Farewell⟧
v
I received from Ta[...]
of the daughter of Psenobastis six drachmas.
I am detained here
until I learn about the matters
concerning the letter of Protarchos,
which he wrote concerning the places.
Farewell. Year 17, Mesore 22.
Approach Koleutes
and Apollonios;
I have also written to them
so that they may give you
whatever they can for provisions,
so that we may have the necessities.
