In English machine translation
To my lord brother Philippos, Serenos, greetings. The decree which I wrote concerning the liturgy, send it to me now […] [but do not] neglect it. I pray for your health for many years.
A liturgy was a compulsory public service imposed on citizens. "Brother" may be a courtesy form of address rather than a literal kinship term.
