Euempholos sends greetings to Zenon. I have deemed it necessary to take a servant from Heracleides to oversee those who have planted the vineyards, in order that I may record those who have planted cucumbers or gourds or onions or anything else, so that they may be arranged according to the previous agreement as well as the half-share. Therefore, when Heracleides gave me a servant and requested that he do so well, with no one of the others objecting, Apollonides said he would not allow me to pass into the vineyard, knowing that I would encounter his madness whenever I traveled and would hinder me. Therefore, it is just that Apollonides is babbling; for if the various matters, as you said then, were collected from the transaction of the hundredfold vineyard, he would not now be babbling in vain. For when I was paid, I received neither (arouras) nor (drachmas) in the matters of Neoptolemus, and in the middle with Anositos, by a herald delivering as you arranged, he, having given no orders to anyone nor having received Anositos, brought down those whom he once wished and made private agreements with them, saying he had sold (drachmas) and did not leave even a grape for the Isiae, claiming to everyone how much you wish to have. But concerning these matters, he himself will come to inspect; no one is repairing the wine presses nor building others, and the time is at hand; for last year we began to harvest. But they are not preparing to hunt the mice. Therefore, if he does not come quickly to arrange everything, he will be delaying many others. Farewell. (Year) ke, Pachon b. (Year) l6, Pachon 6. Euempholos of the harvest. To Zenon.
