[23] I greet you warmly, I pray for [24] your wellbeing for a long time, [25] until I embrace you again in the body, [26] and my joy is completed. I swear to you [27] by our Lord Paraclete and the Knowledge [28] of the Truth that this is what I found close [29] to me, and I hurried, I wrote it, and I sent it [30] to you, because the other one is written on a small piece [31] of papyrus, and I did not find it. If I find it [32] I will send it to you, for I know for my part [33] that it will not be taken to Brother Kalliklēs. [34] I send it to you for it is with my own hand that I wrote it, [35] and I sent it saying, [36] “Perhaps it is what you need”. I ask you, [37] lord brother, that you write these quaternions [38] for me that I sent to you. [38] I will also have them bring what is written to you so that you will know [40] where they have reached ⟨and⟩ to see ⟨that⟩ [41] he has not been neglectful in writing them, and quickly send [42] them to me through a blessed one [43] for they said, “We want someone else to write others!” Now, [44] do not be neglectful to send them in haste. Please do not make it a long text, for [45] they have said that the papyrus is finished, but rather a useful text, and if you [46] write them, I will find your recompense myself – I am not an idiot! Greet for me [47] warmly those who give your heart rest by word and deed. [48] Anything you need, tell me and I will do it happily. Live [49] and be well for a long [50] time, my lord, my brother.
