Letter from Demetrios to the strategos Apollonios about a purchase and small jars TM 19607Hermopolis (?)

A private letter from Demetrios to his friend Apollonios, the strategos, reporting that he used his influence with a seller to get a price lowered from 32 to 30 drachmas and offering to supply small jars at 7 drachmas each. It belongs to the archive of Apollonios, strategos of the Apollonopolite-Heptakomias nome, probably found at Hermopolis.

In English machine translation

The beginning is lost, so the item bought for 30 drachmas is unknown. 'Mikrokeramia' are small earthenware vessels; 'brother' is a term of affection, as the address calls Demetrios a friend.
