Greetings to Zenon from Patakion. We have approached the house of Sokeos, son of Nechayios, in Auere, in the name of Aristodemus. We have heard that it has been reported how [he] might intercede with Apollonios concerning us, leaving behind both the one who is to be given and the one who has purchased, thinking that we might be shaken if we encounter Apollonios. Therefore, you will do well if it is convenient for you and if it is possible, to send the man so that we may not be judged by the others. We have also written to Apollonios, the interpreter, about these matters, so that he may also harm him as much as he can. Farewell. (Year) 36 of Pharmouthi. To Zenon, from Philadelphia.
