Letter from Helladios to the pagarch Papas about a boat TM 20237unbekannt

[recto] † Let your God-protected brotherhood know that the day before yesterday, which is the 7th of the present month, my master the most glorious topoteretes sailed down, and he ordered me to write to you so that you would write to me about the matter of the boat, what you did about it. So, as soon as you read the present letter, may your God-protected brotherhood write to me the outcome of the matter, and what is still needed on its account. Behind (?) the present letter I am sending you the dry sycamore wood. But send your man to lord Aristophanes, who is to select the acacia wood for the so-called kerkis, since he himself supplies it; and I greet you through this letter. But if your man comes down, write to me again through him, and write again to lord Aristophanes on this account. † Choiak 9, indiction 4 † [verso] † To my God-protected master and brother Papas, pagarch of Apollonos Ano, † Helladios † † About the boat †
