Letter from Charmos to Zenon

(Date of reception: 15th or 19th October, 256 B.C.)

Charmos reports that he has received from Zopyrion the male pigs and given them to the swineherd to take to Philadelphia, but that Zopyrion is reluctant to give up the sow, pretending that she is too ill. He asks Zenon to write to Zopyrion to hand over the sow and her litter of young pigs.
