APIS Translation (English)

� alleging inability to produce them because of their death. It appears, then, that owing to your indifference I shall have to look for the animals that are required but are dead. Has your way of feeding them been to throw the young calves upon the beans, and did you neglect to send � to Agathon or �? I do not see how you will be able to look after your own affairs. So take care that I don't come to quarrel with you instead of being on good terms. Good-bye. The 21st year, Epeiph 26.
