The sender acknowledges receipt of a letter from the eparch, in which the eparch reported having sent letters to the commander (al-amīr) and the executive officer (al-shadīd), urging them to address the sender's requests, which seem to deal with a slave (raqīq) belonging to the king, a sum of cash, and two other slaves (al-raʾsayn; the numerical signifier "heads" is used to count slaves, but here the word is used by itself). […]
The letter mentions a man named Yūsū, possibly a servant, who has also been acting on the sender's behalf and is the bearer of this letter as he travels to the eparch. The sender asks the eparch to send 19 dīnārs and eight dirhams, and cautions that if the recipient does not act fast, he will lose out on a favorable exchange rate where the sender is. He reports also sending gold dīnārs with Yūsū, and says there is nothing else good to send.
