He wrote to me at Ph [---]. Endure, therefore, until I come. Before you write, Antoninos wrote to me from Heliopolis saying, “I have come to Philadelphia and to them, deal with them you and mine.” You wrote to me that “whatever you do, I will not endure until you come.” Therefore endure and, if I come, I will see whose fault it is. If, therefore, you are in need of anything, let my brother Aion give it to you. How do you nevertheless find annoyance with them? If God wills, we reached you soon and Hermias went to Coptos. Having arrived, he rejoiced and has ceased, let him come from the mother annoyance I made as you know, not I, what is necessary. I send many greetings to my daughter and your mother Heliodora and Nonnos and [—] to Philadelphia.
