Before all things (?) […]
I greet your […] father who is honoured […]
the pottery jar (?) to me […] concerning the she-camel, he said: […]
find her; meanwhile she is eating fodder (?) […]
If you find a camel coming south, let it come to me.
[…] which you sent to you.
Concerning the matter of the letter, behold, I have given the copy
to Apa Ananias. Behold,
he is waiting for it,
so that he may take it. Pray
for me in your holy prayer,
and God will give me the means to do
it. Farewell. †
Deliver it to Apa Moses, through his son Moses. †
