I, Pesynte, am writing to John: I went to Kalba(?) and asked Dioskoros. I said, "Are you the one who will take the holokottinos of wheat (?)" Do the kindness and give it to Pausa so that he may give it to me as wheat. For indeed he said to me, "You are the one who gives it." † Farewell in the Lord.
Deliver it to John, from Pesynte.
