Description
The writer, in an abrupt style, refers to a variety of things - his delay in loading camels, lentils and their current local cost, grain and fish. He informs Horion, whom he addresses in a slightly superior tone, that he is sending one basket containing jujubes, pomegranates, and gourds, and another with fresh dates, some old wine secured with difficulty, and a quantity of bones. After expressing the customary greetings, he reverts to business details - his failure to receive the cotton chiton he wanted, his readiness to have one woven for Horion provided materials and measurements are sent, grain being being sent to Psobthis, and the dispatch of dates, pomegranates, and a letter through Phatres, who acts as a go-between.
