APIS Translation (English)

Apollonios to Zenon greeting. Concerning the boy whom Philon the schoolmaster introduced to you, if he exceeds your expectations in the matter of years, until (as the saying is) he has grey hairs and the rest, you can have nothing to reproach him with. (2nd hand) Farewell.
