APIS Translation (English)

Ploutogenia, to my mother, many greetings. First of all I pray before the lord god for your good health. It is already eight months since I came to Alexandria, and not even one letter have you written to me. Again then you do not regard me as your daughter but as your enemy. The bronze vessels which you have by you, give them to Atas, and do you get them back in full number from her, Atas. And write to me how much money you got from Koupineris, and do not neglect it. Attend to the irrigation wheel and to your cattle; do not hesitate and do not wish to trouble . . . And if your daughter intends to marry, write to me and I come. I salute you together with your children. I salute also by name those who love us. I pray for your continued health.;;(Verso);;Deliver to my mother, from Ploutogenia, her daughter.
