APIS Translation (English)

To Dionusios. You should play the fool at the risk of your own neck, and not of mine. You seem to have gone mad, for you pay no regard to yourself; and have persisted in doing so, so that you are sneered at by those with whom you play the fool. Bear in mind that you are not in charge of tax-farming, but merely of an insufferable department, so attend to that and go no further. If it is pleasant to be drunk and to be under protection, you do not take into account the morrow. (Addressed on the verso) To Dionusios.
