Description

Epichares had come to see Apollonios and give a full account of his business, but finding him busy had gone away without fulfilling the object of his visit. He now sends Dionysios with a request for a supply of corn and a thousand drachmae and he asks Apollonios to write and say to whom he is to repay the loan.
