I was glad to see Mystes, our brother, and I did all that was possible for him. Do you receive from him two fine . . . . I will certainly either send you a jar of . . . or bring it myself when I come. For I shall not come to salute you so long as he remains with you. I received four bundles of leeks. Salute your children ��� may the evil eye not touch them ��� and all your friends.;Farewell. On . . . 22.;;(Recto) Deliver to Apollonios from Didymos, his brother.
