1To my brother Mah[seiah, your brother Mauziah]. May all the [go]ds see[k after the welfare of my brother] abundantly at al[l time]s. [And] n[o]w,
2andand when a letter from PN indeed came to me, I heard of your welfare (and) I rejoiced abundantly. I heard
3and I would send (to inquire) about your welfare [with whomeve]r would be co[m]ing to you. Now,
4they did not tell [me]. Consequently, I was full of anger at you before Dalah.
5[From the day I lef]t Syene, you did not send me one letter about your welfare.
V
vso1Look after the servants and my house. As you would do for your house
vso2[so do for my house. Take care of (=protect) PN1 from (=against) PN2. Let him (PN1) be] far from him (=PN2) fr[om] what he would do before his eyes. Your welfare and your instruction
vso3[Do send me them, until the gods show me your face] in peace
vso4To
vso4[my brothers Mahseiah son of PN and ...]iah son of Gaddu[l], your brother [Mauziah son of Nathan]
