Letter from a father to his son about farm work and family greetings TM 32921unbekannt2. Hälfte IV

Fragmentary private letter from a father to his son, sending greetings to family members and giving instructions about hay, a field of one aroura and the summer crop until he arrives. He promises to send 50 talents and asks that a woman named Kastres not be troubled. It dates to the second half of the 4th century AD.

In English machine translation

The verb rendered 'trouble' (σελέσης) is probably a misspelling of σκυλῇς; 50 talents reflects the inflated currency of the 4th century. The reading 'donkey' is a guess from damaged letters.
