- Translation
- "Your Paternity did not place the effects with the man in order that you might send and carry off and bring them, but because of a great necessity you deposited them with him. If the necessity has ceased send them all, and if the necessity has not ceased, if you like; send them; send - he will send them for you at once. Not your bringing them for him at another time; for he will not be able to repeat (his visit) to the place, twice."
