Letter from Chairemon to his son Dioskoros about outstanding business TM 28136unbekanntII - III

[recto] Chairemon to Dioskoros his son, greetings. Concerning what you wrote, I will take care of it. And I too ask you to settle all outstanding matters and not again leave outstanding matters for yourself, aware of the harshness of the times. So free yourself from every outstanding matter, so that at last you may be free of worry and my own small outstanding matters may at last find an outcome. Concerning the sweet wines, take care, aware that I am using lees-wine (?). See to it then that you do not neglect this, having often been urged by me about it and knowing the necessity. And meet Dionysios about the basket of grapes, and let it be brought to an end, pointing out to him about the rent of the baskets and the price of the hampers. And take care about Heraklas, and likewise about the affairs of Ptollaras, aware that this also concerns you and is to your advantage. I have given instructions to Sisois and Petsiris. Please meet Gemeinas and find out about the half-aroura of Soueros, so that you may register it (?). So provide me with this too, so that I may know that you love me. About the vinegar, it would be superfluous for me to give you further instructions on this. Let Heraklas fix a day for you, and learn from Isidoros about the other matters; for I know that, if you wish, everything will be accomplished. So take care about everything; I will write to you often about the same things, so that you do not neglect them. Come yourself quickly too, since the business of the bulls is pressing. Your children are well. Greet Faboullos your brother. Farewell, my sweetest, and bring me the vinegar. [verso] To Dioskoros his son.
