Letter from Alexandros (?) to Oryas
Description
Zenon had written to Oryas to recover some money from a Jew called Jeddous, or else to seize securities for it. Oryas sent on Zenon's messenger, a man called Straton, with a copy of the letter, to Alexandros. The latter having taken a dose of medicine was unable to leave his house (or perhaps he did not relish the task), but he sent a youth along with Straton to give a note to Jeddous and to recover the money. The two returned empty-handed, reporting that Jeddous had paid no attention to the note, but had assaulted them and driven them out of the village. I have therefore reported to you, says Alexandros, declining further reponsibility.
