Letter from Elisaios to the priest Apa Markos about a solidus TM 86860Memnoneia - Djeme (Thebes west)1. Hälfte VII

[recto] We received the letters of your God-loving paternity, our father. We rejoiced greatly that we learned of your health from them. Now concerning the solidus of Simsim: I know […] a just man, that you first […] it happen. By all means, you will say […] you entrust me with the solidus; it is not a favour to me unless your command […] in every matter, to believe these (things?), for they say that he has been absent (?) […] in Kbt, in […] another place. But then, half a solidus, hurry it to me, or Psis, if you wish; send and take it in haste before he comes down to us again. By all means, we shall again obtain the whole solidus; the half, see, it is reckoned (?). I greet your paternity, above all and in every matter. [Our] beloved lord father. [verso] (To) the holy Apa Markos, the priest, and the traitor, the cursed one (?), that is Psan, who persuaded you to write this other letter to us. Farewell in the Lord. Elisaios, the least.
