Letter from Platon to Zenon

(16th December, 255 B.C.)

Platon writes that the youth called Demetrios who is delivering the letter has a father living in the Fayoum and would like to find some work there himself and he asks Zenon to give him employment of some sort and to look after him. He adds that he has sent Zenon two artabs of chick-peas and will try and buy some more at Naukratis and bring them up the river himself.
