Ἐπαφρόδειτος Ἀπολλωνίωι τῷ κυρίωι χαίρειν.
πρὸ πάντων σε εὔχομαι ὑγιαίνειν μετὰ τοῦ κυρίου μου Ἡρακλᾶ Ἀπόλλωνος καὶ τῆς κυρίας μου Ἀλινῆς ὧν οὐ διαλείπω
τὸ ποιῶν τὸ προσκύνημα παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ Ἑρμῇ καὶ παρὰ πᾶσι τοῖς θεοῖς.
ἔγραψάς μοι περὶ ἄρτων καθαρῶν πεμφθῆναί σοι διὰ Διοσκόρου πρὸς τὴν κϛ´·
εὗρον οὖν αὐτὸν μὴ ἀναπλέοντα πρὸς ἣν ἔγραψάς μοι ἡμέραν, οὐδὲ οὐδένα ἄλλον …
… Ἀπολλωνίῳ στρατηγῷ.

English translation

Epaphrodeitus to Apollonius, his lord, greetings.
Above all I pray that you are well, together with my lord Heraklas son of Apollon and my lady Aline, for whom I do not cease
to make the act of worship before the lord Hermes and before all the gods.
You wrote to me about “pure” loaves of bread to be sent to you through Dioskoros by the 26th.
I found, then, that he was not sailing up on the day about which you wrote to me, nor (did I find) anyone else …
… to Apollonius, strategos (district governor).

Notes on the text

• The source appears to be a documentary letter (papyrological style). Several places in your transcription are broken/garbled (e.g., scattered letters and missing words), so the translation marks an ellipsis where the Greek is not recoverable from what was provided.
• κϛ´ is the Greek numeral for 26.
• στρατηγός here is an administrative title (“strategos,” often rendered “district governor”).
