English Translation

Apollonides to Zenon, greetings. You wrote to me to give Criton a talent-weight (talantieion) instead of the two forty-mina covers. But I have prepared for you, instead of the forty-mina ones, two purple-bordered covers of fifty minas each, of the finest edging. For these two, I have received from Criton the weaving cost per mina (2 obols), amounting to 100 minas (141 drachmas, 4 obols), and for dyeing both covers (20 drachmas), and for the edging fee (1 drachma), total (62 drachmas, 4 obols), and I have delivered both covers to him. For the seven covers you wrote me to prepare, I have up to now (400 drachmas). It will thus be as you instructed. I have also purchased for him the sacrificial animals.
Farewell. Year 29, Pachon 25.
If you need anything else, write to us.
