Soumaios to Yonathes son of Beianos and to Masabala, greetings. Since I have sent to you Agrippa, hurry to send me wands and citrons, as much as you will be able, for the camp of the Jews, and do not do otherwise. It (scil. the letter) was written in greek because of our inability to write Jewish script. Release him (i.e., Agrippa) more quickly on account of the festival, and do not do otherwise. (2nd hand) Soumaios, farewell.
