letter
Description
Most of the surviving portion of this letter is concerned with mundane business transactions. The writer acknowledges the receipt of 24 drachmas by the hand of a certain Satrios. He reports that, probably upon written request, he has put in an order for a mattress and some dry goods, which are not yet ready.Their combined cost (52 drachmas ?) exceeds the amount brought by Satrios, and this is a source of concern for the writer. He promises to make up the difference from his own pocket, although he is not affluent. He mentions also that he has bought two artabas of lentils (the price is not given) and that Satrios is unwilling to take them with him. Near the end of the business portion of the letter the writer requests a cloak, to be made by his mother.
