APIS Translation (English)

Polemon to Menches, greeting. Since we are coming at dawn on the 29th, see that all the debts due to you and to the cultivators are in order on that day. You will set out for Berenikis with me with regard to the matter about which you wrote to me and in order that the report may not � Goodbye.
