Description

Papyrus letter from the Herakleopolites(?) (Heracleopolite Nome), Egypt dated Hathyr 20, year 32? (150 B.C.? or 139 B.C.?). In the letter, Konnos, an official, informs Ariston strategos and nomarches, a high civil and army official in the area involved with taxation and one of the first friends of the king, about his trip to the villages of Kerkesephis and Samareia in the Arsinoites (modern name: Fayyum) in search of a supply of wood. Konnos eventually found the wood in Samareia. However, the men of Lochos strategos, another high official and possible the strategos of the Thebaid of ca. 127-117 B.C., have prevented shipment of the wood
