Letter from Apollonios to Zenon

(27th December, 256 B.C.)

Apollonios writes that the king has bidden him sow a second crop on the land. After harvesting the early corn Zenon is to water the land, erecting shadoufs if necessary, and to keep it flooded for not more than five days, and as soon as it dries he is to sow the three-month wheat. He is also to inform Apollonios when he will be able to harvest the first crop.
