In English machine translation
Frange.
I greet my beloved brother Stephanos. Do me the kindness, when you go to the festival (?) today, tell the priest Pahom to take the two (copies of the) Kingdom (?) which I copied […] tell (?) him that they are in the place.
If not (?), tell him that when they come to you he should give them to you. Farewell in the Lord.
Frange was a monk and scribe in western Thebes, and the things he copied were probably books. The readings 'festival' (ⲡϣⲁ) and the object 'ⲙⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟ' (kingdom, perhaps a book title) are uncertain.
