First of all, I greet your brotherliness and all those with you, by their names. Behold, I have sent you four bundles (?) of clean (?) wheat. Do the kindness […] […] hasten; God [willing] I shall come south quickly.
Ask also after a good man, so that he may load them until I come south; and also tell John the man of Shebbo[…]: "Take a bundle (?) and load it […]"
Farewell in the Lord. Give it [to my beloved] brother […] from Joseph […]
