Description
Papyrus letter from the Herakleopolites(?) (Heracleopolite Nome), Egypt in which Chairemon, an official, and another person address Ariston strategos and nomarches, a high civil and army official involved with taxation and one of the first friends of the king. They inform Ariston of some official business relating to a visit of Herodas, an official and possibly the brother of the dioiketes, the finance secretary of Egypt, to Ptolemais Hormou(?). Herodas complained about the fact that Ariston had not yet taken care of the delivery of wheat expected from him
