In English machine translation
Give it
to my beloved brother Theodoros, through George.
Please send the book that I gave to the man; otherwise (?) he said, 'I will not give it out.' Look, I have sent you these ten hpot of papyrus (chartes).
I greet your brotherliness. Remember me in your prayers. Farewell in the Lord. †
The word hpot is a measure or unit for papyrus with no exact English equivalent. The phrase rendered 'otherwise (?)' (emmon) is uncertain in sense here.
