In English machine translation
[recto]
[…] and to entreat your brotherliness […]
[…] order him to be judged in arbitration by her (?) […]
[…] so let the request not go unheeded […]
[…] greatly (?), master.
[verso]
[…] worthy of all honour and obeisance […]
'Brotherliness' (adelphotes) is a courtesy title of address. The verso line is the typical honorific address formula of Byzantine letters.
