Letter from Paulos to Nepheros about grain owed and bread for the needy TM 33559AlexandriaIV

[recto] To the most honoured, beloved Nepheros, Paulos. I have written to your piety also through our brothers Aspidas and Paulos, so that, if you think fit, taking the grain which Papnouthis son of Horion owes us, you may distribute 3 artabas of it as bread to the needy, and keeping the remaining 13 with you, you may send them to us 3 at a time as bread; and quickly, if possible, send us a full basket. And if you deign to write back to us, remember to let us know whether you received the bit of oil which we sent through our sister Taese for your service. And concerning whatever you need in Alexandria, do not hesitate to write. Tell Protos about the iron, about which he wrote to me, that for the moment the item is not available in Alexandria. We greet all the brothers with you, together with whom we ask you to remember us too in your prayers. May the Lord of all keep you well in soul and body. [verso] To the most honoured, beloved Nepheros, Paulos.
