APIS Translation (English)

Diogenis to Didymas the most honoured greetings. First of all I pray for your health and for your children whom the evil eye shall not harm. I make your supplication to the Lord Sarapis wishingall the best for all your house. Do well if you could place the soil which Hatres my farmer had digged in my fields and not allow building until I come there. Take care for the other also, which I have left unfinished , so as not to be contemptible because of my neglegance. Give my regards to everybody. Give to Didymas.
