Chrestos to Poulet(is), my farmer, greetings. Give to the son Philon 2 keramia (?) of must, but do supply them. I pray for your health.

The word written χρητεις is obscure; it is taken here as a measure or container for the must (unfermented grape juice). 'The son' may mean the writer's own son or the farmer's.
