To Heracleides, greetings to your brother.

And may you be well. Telephanes,

the one who has delivered to you the letter, we have a brotherly

inheritance.

And this woman happens to be

whose image is also present, inheriting

the paternal and ancestral properties. And as long as

I have been received to meet with him

to not leave the place, having been requested

to do the same and to make the letter, he greatly

accomplished what was necessary for him and having spent much time

as I was present, so that having arrived

he may announce what he has brought for us with diligence,

and taking care of yourself so that you may be healthy.

Farewell

to Maketa as (of years)

in the middle

of white color, round-faced, of good character, quietly

of Heracleides the son of Lags, the bronze ones.

English Translation

To Heracleides, my brother, greetings,
and (I pray) that you may be well and prosper.

Telephanes, the man who delivered the letter to you, is connected with us by brotherly ties/relations.
His wife is the one concerned—her portrait/description is appended—she being the heir
to the paternal property and the ancestral (grandfather’s) property.

Up to now, then, he was urging me to meet with him;
but in order that the place not be abandoned, I declined him,
and I have urged him to do the same and to write the letter as well.
You will do a great kindness if you carry out what concerns him and take much trouble,
as though I were present, so that when you arrive you may report
the zeal/effort you have shown on our behalf,
and take care of yourself so that you may be healthy.
Farewell.

(Description/identification:)
Of Maketas: about 20 years old, of medium build, fair-skinned, round-faced,
with a mark/brand, quiet; a scar.

(Additional note, incomplete:)
“The bronze (coins/money) of Heracleides son of Lagus … to Heracleides concerning …”
