[r]
ἀσπάζομαι ὑμᾶς καὶ προσκυνῶ καὶ τὰ ἴχνη τῶν ὑποδημάτων ὑμῶν καὶ πάντων
τῶν ὄντων μεθ’ ὑμῶν κατ’ ὄνομα.
καταξίωσον οὖν λαβεῖν τὸ κανόνα παρὰ
τοῦ γραμματηφόρου καὶ τοῦτο ἀναγκαίως
γράψῃ ἡ σὴ εὐλάβεια ὅτι ὁ μακάριος ἄπα
Ἰσὰκ ἀπώλλυτο ἀπὸ ἕκτης τοῦ μηνὸς τούτου·
διὰ τούτου οὐκ ἐδυνήθη βαλεῖν σκυλμὸν
καὶ ἀπαντῆσαι τὸν ἄγγελον ὑμῶν, δέσποτα.
[v]
ἐπίδος τῷ ἀγαπητῷ μου ἀδελφῷ Κύρῳ παρὰ Κυριακοῦ ἀδελφοῦ.Translations (1)
I greet you and I bow down in reverence to the traces of your shoes and everything that is with you by name. Therefore, see fit to receive the measure from the secretary and write this matter urgently: that the blessed Apa Isaac was perishing from the sixth of this month; through this, he was not able to set up a defense and meet your angel, master. Send it to my beloved brother seal, Kyros from Kyriakos, brother.
