Business letter about the sale of a wine vat TM 30091unbekanntIII

Fragment of a business letter from the 3rd century AD concerning the purchase of wine vats. The writer reports having withdrawn from buying after receiving the addressees' letter telling them to stop, and that the vat has now been sold to the associates of Diodoros the blind and Maximos.

In English machine translation

The word lenos usually means a wine press or vat, here apparently a vat (or its contents) offered for sale; the adjective leiodes ('smooth') is of uncertain sense in this context. The name Souchammon on the back probably belongs to the address.
