If ye fare well, we have our desire; we are also in good health.
29
Menelaus declared unto us, that your desire was to return home, and to follow your own business:
30
Wherefore they that will depart shall have safe conduct till the thirtieth day of Xanthicus with security.
31
And the Jews shall use their own kind of meats and laws, as before; and none of them any manner of ways shall be molested for things ignorantly done.
32
I have sent also Menelaus, that he may comfort you.
33
Fare ye well. In the hundred forty and eighth year, and the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.
34
The Romans also sent unto them a letter containing these words: Quintus Memmius and Titus Manlius, ambassadors of the Romans, send greeting unto the people of the Jews.
35
Whatsoever Lysias the king's cousin hath granted, therewith we also are well pleased.
36
But touching such things as he judged to be referred to the king, after ye have advised thereof, send one forthwith, that we may declare as it is convenient for you: for we are now going to Antioch.
37
Therefore send some with speed, that we may know what is your mind.
38
Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year, the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.
