From Diodoros to Triboles. Greetings! Since we are departing for Koptos after the 15th (corr. from16th ), please, when the wagons of Ptolemaios arrive, deliver to Herakleides who is in the service of Hermodotos, guard at Berenike, the letters addressed to Hermodotos, among which there is a cylindrical envelope addressed to Dositheos, the chief guard. In addition, deliver to Apollonios, the guard of the wagons, (my) letter to Aristoboulos, who is in the service of Charimortos, concerning the money he spent on elephants. Deliver also the other letters to Asklepiades and Priamos; but if you receive (a letter/letters from them?), do not deliver (my letters?). Report to me in writing.
