"You would do well not to send the quickest ones from the law, the back-bearers, even now to Phra-systhenes, to the one who is being consulted. Therefore, write more clearly to Theron and to the guards to show the weight to those who are to the straw towards the brick-making, through Apollodorus. He said that concerning the others, the straw should not be neglected, indeed, because of the straw, you should not depart any longer, it does not listen to the call."
