‘“Bassus to Heracleides and Tryphon, greeting.” You wrote to me about the hamlets, how they haven’t finished the work on the embankments. It was not for you to write such a letter to me today; therefore late as it is take their crops (employing) a soldier and the men themselves whom you can impress. So I advise you to finish the job. Farewell. Dated the 23rd year of Caesar, Mesore 23 (16 August 7 B.C.)’ To Heracleides and Tryphon at Oxyrhynchus.
