†
† The hour that you receive the letter, go in to the dwelling place.
Take the fruit (?) of the cellar (?) and the balance and its hook and a little jar of copper (?) of Papa Pihêu, and drink a hand of sippion (?). But
send them to me straight away.
But by all means send them to me, and the rest of the necessities that my brother Apollo says he wants. †
