Private letter with instructions about a new plantation and purchase of reed TM 26995unbekanntII - III

Fragmentary private letter in which the writer, absent for the time being, asks the recipient to receive something from a certain Challes, to help the writer's brother and a man named Anoubas with work on a newly planted half-aroura plot on Hermias' land, and to buy reed with money from the brother. The writer asks the recipient to take his place until he arrives.

In English machine translation

The verb ἰλλατισθήτω is a rare Latin-derived form (from illatio, 'bringing in'), so its sense here is uncertain. The reed was probably meant for supporting vines in the new plantation.
