APIS Translation (English)

Isis to her brother Serapion, many greetings. I make your obeisance each day before the gods of this place. Be informed (?) by me that Philon has (not?) delivered <OR: that I don't owe ...> a single artaba of wheat, charging me twenty drachmai. But know that it is all right. If you can, send me (money?) for the expense, (and so that?) I may sail to you. Come to us as soon as you can. I also spent twelve drachmai fo r hay. Greet your father heartily. Your son greets your heartily, as do your mother and my mother(?) and my sister.;;(Verso, in right margin:);;Deliver to Serapion from [Isis].;;(Verso, second text:);;Serapion(?) to Helene(?), many greetings. . . . artab(s) of wheat . . .
