APIS Translation (English)

Sosos to Zenon greeting. Know that I was detained five days in Memphis because of the smooth rugs and the fowl. I found Menippos in Memphis and he reported that birthday celebration had been put off for eight days. Know also that Dionysios, the farmer, has sold the olyra which he has measured out for the hay cutting and has it against the same obligation. And Apollonios brought in to the King the stones which you sent him and they pleased the King very much. Good-bye Mecheir 27. [Verso:] To Zenon.
