Description

Zoilos writes to his mother Theodora to inform her that his sister is very ill and that she might give birth to a baby on that day after only 7 months of pregnancy. Meanwhile, Zoilos reports, the sister's husband has left the city to go to Oxyrhynchos to work off an inescapable obligation. Zoilos urges his mother to provide accomodation there for him and his co-workers.
