In English machine translation
Markos to Diogenes his brother, greetings.
Receive from Anoubas the camel-driver […]. For the present we have sent you only tokens (?); but at the other place we will take care of things for you. All those at home greet you; greet all those at home.
Farewell.
Epeiph 3
The object to be received from Anoubas is illegible. 'Symbola' may mean tokens, receipts or tallies, and 'brother' may be a term of affection rather than kinship.
