APIS Translation (English)

Capito to Netios his brother, greetings. First of all I thought it necessary to greet you by letter. Since you were not planning to go off for a lawsuit, I ask you, brother, to take care . . . a storage jar and a ladikenon jar for water, and . . . You say that your brother is coming and together with you . . . so that we may settle together. For I heard also that you are sailing in. I was delighted, then, that he is coming with you.
