- Translation
- "It is Daniel who writes to his dear brother Bane. Before everything I greet you much and your . . . . ., and I greet Phoibammon the little, and I greet Apollo, my brother, much, and his . . . . ., and I greet the companions, all of them according to their names. And I heard that you had been released, and my heart was set at rest much. I was worn out with waiting for you, thinking that you would come today or tomorrow, and I would go forth toward you. (As to) what is to come: Be not in despair of my lords. God will give the decision, and you will be released and come in peace. Salvation in the Lord, and do not delay sending news of yourself to me."
