In English machine translation

[…] to the most honoured […], very many greetings. I received your letter on the 3rd of Phaophi […]. I delivered two letters to the [son?] of Cornelius. I received only two, the one from Rufus and Iulius from Nestos […] [… 2 lines lost …] […] Arsinoe […] [… 8 lines lost …] of the vineyard and olive grove […] [… 4 lines lost …] [… 3 lines lost …]

The phrase 'to the [...] of Cornelius' omits a noun, probably 'son' or 'slave'. 'Arsinoe' may refer to the city or the Arsinoite nome.
