Letter of a steward urging his landlord to visit the farmstead TM 30123unbekanntIII

A fragmentary letter, apparently from a steward to a landowner, reporting on the state of a farmstead and urging him to come because the workers are quarrelling. It mentions new plantings by Anatolios sprouting in the summer heat and the need for water, with a marginal note about jars of wine. It dates to the 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

The word kalame (literally 'reed' or 'stalk') here probably refers to cuttings or reed plantings; the passage about drawing water is garbled and unclear. The reading of the number in the margin is uncertain.
