APIS Translation (English)

Ptolemaios to Ptollis, greeting. I have detained the letters about the affair of Diphilos in case an application may have been made to you, but if an application has still not been made, find out exactly where he says that he found them and state the silver vessels in clear writing, for one should not write incoherently about that kind of thing. Good-bye. (Addressed on the verso) To Ptollis.
