Letter from Petobastis the pigeon-keeper to Zenon

(?)

The writer was Zenon's pigeon-keeper. He complains that he has received no wages for the last four months and that the barley-wheat given him for his food allowance is uneatable. So he begs Zenon to see to this, in order that he and his sons may do their work efficiently.
