Description

The writer of this private letter anticipates a clash of jurisdiction with local officials over a piece of work of an unspecified nature for which a certain Heron, presumably a contractor, is providing the laborers. He instructs Chariton to keep a close eye on the undertaking and at the same time to warn off the demosioi as lacking authority over Heron.
