English translation (best-effort, with uncertain parts left as ellipses)

“To the most holy and most God-fearing presbyter and steward (oikonomos) … as I said, that we have a place having … and you … to Abba John, presbyter and steward … from Michael.”

Notes on uncertainties

• θεοσεβεστάτῳ (“most God-fearing/devout”) is split and partially duplicated in the source.
• οἰκονόμῳ (“steward/administrator”) appears also in a misspelled/variant form (εἰκονόμου / εικουνομου).
• ἐβούνισας is unclear; it may be a misspelling or a misread form. The sense of the clause around it is therefore uncertain.
• τὸν μ… and nearby letters are too fragmentary to translate confidently.
• παρὰ Μιχαήλ is straightforward: “from Michael.” The spelling Μηκαήλ looks like a variant/misspelling.
