- Translation
- (Recto)
- Aigyptos to Zenon greeting. Will you kindly send me, if it is convenient to you, three choes of castor oil, ten alabetes, also some thrissai if you have any freshly caught, half an artab of mustard and some of the large garlic, in order that we may send some to Artemidoros also; for you have been abundantly derided about it. And kindly take delivery of the ten metretai of pitch from Diotimos. If you are sending the aforesaid things, dispatch them at once to Ptolemais; otherwise, it will be useless to send them if they are long in coming. So do as I ask you. And send me at all events two linen garments and four pillows. Farewell.
