Letter from Apollonios to Zenon

(April or May, 255 B.C.)

Apollonios announces that he has sent from the Heliopolite nome a hundred jars of wine which Zenon is to sell at a good price, using the proceeds to pay for the weaving of carpets. He wishes to know how the wine sells and whether he ought to send more, as he still has plenty of it in the aforesaid nome.
