APIS Translation (English)

Kalma to Sarapias his sister, greeting. I would have you know that I have reached Alexandria. Do not therefore (believe) that I intend to remain at Antinoe. I came to Alexandria to pray. Do not therefore listen to people who say that I intend to remain here: I am coming speedily into the country to you. Kalma to Protous his sister, greeting. Do everything possible to protect my wife until I arrive, and tell my brother Akoutas also to do anything that my wife requires until I come, and let her want for nothing. Salute the children of my sister. I pray for your health. (Addressed on the verso) Deliver to Sarapias from Kalma.
