Two letters from Petosiris and Thaesis to Didyme about purple, a mantle and wine TM 31664Oxyrhynchos

[recto] Petosiris to Didyme, many greetings. The purple you sent us has not been made up. Send us […] ten bundles of […] circle (?) for Daphne, like the colour of your mantle. Sell the mantle you have for 48 drachmas; but if you do not get the price, do not sell it, but see to the 40 drachmas and send them to us quickly. Inquire about the welfare of the son of Nilous and, if necessary, write to us about him. Demand from Teeus the […] of Herakleides son of Sarammon 40 drachmas for freight. Thaesis to Didyme her daughter, many greetings. I handed over to Herakleides son of Selmon and to Capitolis 7 1/2 metretai of wine, and I have paid back to them the remainder in small change together with the price of 18 1/2 metretai at 64 drachmas per metretes. Your wife wrote to me in your name, and I have sold the wine at double what I bought it for, and I have recorded … drachmas. Soeis is bothering me about the artaba of wheat. And now send to me a kokoma of oil for Herakleides son of Selmon, and 1 little basket. I greet you warmly and all your people. Eseis greets you warmly, and Theonilla and Nilous Didyme. The son-in-law of Menas has given me nothing. We pray for your health, […] [verso] From Didyme (?). From Thaesis and Petosiris.
