[recto] First of all, I greet […] Since the one who teaches says, 'Bear the burdens of one another, and so you will fulfil the law of Christ,' be so kind, then, as to take the […] potsherd (ostracon) and put it away (?) and ask Apa Epiphanios whether he sent me the letter that is assembled together with his writings concerning […] If he tells you, 'I sent his letter and I also received […] well concerning it,' be so kind as to send them to me so that I may be free of worry. But if he says, 'I have not had leisure for it,' or 'I have not found a man […]' [verso] […] time […] […] matter; be so kind as to […] the potsherd to him. The answer, then, that he will give you, be so kind as to send it by a man […] who is going (?) to Paeit Tyrane, or to Thenete of Paeit Pesynte, or to the church of Pshonte, since I am living among the soldiers on the mountain. Farewell. Deliver it to my beloved brother, holy and blessed and honoured in every way, […] Moses the calligrapher, through your brother Pei[…], the least.
