I am in danger of losing all these things and of also being made an example, as you have well spoken, because you have shown that as one working for (?) or dealing with (?) salt, bread, and living water, I am able to manage [?]. But to where you intend, it is a matter and bronze is discovered (?) or not knowing, that at night and day I entrust myself to God on your behalf. Concerning the Nile, no protection nor transcription was given to me to carry it to Serapion that he might give it. For he ascends with his brother. And let there be concern for Hermion, how she might be without pain. For it is not just that she is grieved for nothing; for I heard that she is grieved. Expect Demos concerning Choiach at the crossing. To Ptolemy, son of Phambites from Phambeina.
