APIS Translation (English)

Trapbos(?) to Herakles his <or: her?> father, very many greetings. Before all else I pray for your health. I have caused unpleasantness for my overseers, and I want to get away from them. If you can come, come at once. For if I do not get away from them, they will give me a hiding every day. Give salutations to all in the house.;Year 11(?) of the Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, Pauni 5.;;(Verso);;From Trapbos(?) to Herakles.
