APIS Translation (English)

Lysimachos to his sister Taarmiysis, greeting. It has been decided for me that I should not go down till the 25th; and as Soknebtynis the mighty god wills it I will go with boldness. And do you together with the children � concerning the supplication, if by good fortune � if I go; and take care of yourself so as to remain in good health. Good-bye. The 12th year, Choiak 20.
