(Translation: from P.Oxy. 6) Serenus to Diogenes his brother, greeting. With the assistance of heaven our sister
has taken a turn for the better, and our brother Harpocration is safe and well; for
our ancestral gods continually assist us, granting us health and safety. I intended
to come up myself on the [.]th, since Sarapion’s friends said that he was ill. I write
to you therefore to ask you to write to me at once(?) about him by any messenger you
may have. The transport of the bundles will be performed immediately by my father:
he has already taken away those in the 1[.] arourae. Many salutations to my sweetest
brother Harpocration, Theanous, Theon, Diogenes, and Heliodorus. Many salutations
to you all from Hieraciaena and her daughter Tsenesis: I pray for the health of you
and all the household.
