Apparatus
To my most honorable lord and brother Thalassios,
Dorotheos.
Please seek to find in Oxyrhynchus in the meeting place the twin, the one who holds the pelta,
and to receive from him the composition, which I have forgotten to send,
(*), and the one for the ear-gloss, which he is to apply to him,
(*) so that he may dye it, and to give him (a horn(?))
a payment for the dyeing; and if brother Anastasios has received the
composition, to seek him out.
To my brother Thalassios.
