APIS Translation (English)
I arrived on the fifteenth, . . . and since you wish I will go to Alexandria. Do you set sail yourself leaving my business [l. 5] unfinished? Do not fail. Write me since I am staying there until the 20th. If they do not want me to do these things write me tomorrow lest he cause me anguish. [l. 10] If you are willing to do more for me, you will make me three whole ones. In doing this you will do me a great favor. Farewell. [l. 15] The 9th year of Domitian, our lord. The 11th of the month Germanicus.
