1Euphronios to Milon greetings. When you read this letter, get information
2from the bankers of the temples concerning money paid for the temple in Apollonos
3polis magna and also of the grain paid from the agents
4in charge of the storehouses, from the very beginning up to the present time, per month
5and per year, (it should account for which years has been paid), and when you have done this carefully,
6send it to us in presence of (?) the (your?) successors, so that we are not hindered because of this,
7since the others are all prepared to send the accounts to the city (Alexandria).
8The accounts of payments made through Athlios and Andron are ready to be checked.
9Farewell. Year 25, Payni 24.

10To Milon. (seal)
