1	Senyris to Mathalis, her son, greeting.
2	First of all I pray and make supplication for you
3	before all the gods in this place. When Agathos comes to you,
4	give to him the furniture(?) and the beds and give to his
5	son Hylas - may he be free from harm - the jar of wine from down there
6	into the cellar. I greet your wife
7	and your children. I greet Gemella and her
8	husband and her mother. When
9	Apollonios comes, and Apolonia, entertain them.
10	Apollonios, in fact, travels to Hermoupolis and to
11	Latopolis. Sokratos greets you.
12	I wish you Farewell.

13	Give (the letter) to Matalis in Syene, from Senyris.
