Description

Paramonos asks Zenon to buy him, in Memphis where they are cheap, twelve good strigils of Sikyonian workmanship, six for men and six for boys, having forgotten to make this request when Zenon was with him. He also asks him to buy an artab and a half of dry capers, as fresh as possible.
