Letter from Ioannes to Anoup with instructions on estate business TM 37469OxyrhynchosVI - VII

[recto] […] ☧ Send Mousaios the field-guard to Prychthis so that he may bring me the double sack that was made on my account, and three good sandals, finished, very close-stitched. So tell him this, and take care to collect and bring me 123 solidi, as I wrote to you on another occasion too, apart from the collection-fee (?). And have the field-guards send me the camel-load of wood. Since Petros son of Papas is taking refuge with you, have his wife brought to the guest-house and make demand of her. Have Mousaios son of Pagenes and Sourous son of David give to Herais the one solidus which they guaranteed to her on behalf of Herais for the estate dues, or else send them by a field-guard to the city. Take care to bring up all the parchments and the statement of the grain and twenty young pigeons, and secure the storerooms as is necessary. Do not neglect the matter of the sandals and the double sack and the pack-saddle, and get from the saddle-maker two (?) for the pack-saddle; and as for the price of the double sack, tell Mousaios to guarantee it to the leather-worker, brother. [verso] ☧ Deliver to the most admirable Anoup from Ioannes.
