Copy of letter from Lysagoras to Diomedes

(250 - 249 B.C.)

Diomedes had apparently brought an action against Bion for a sum of 468 drachmae. How far the proceedings had already gone is not clear, but in the present letter Lysagoras formally undertakes to produce Bion in Alexandria in the office or court of Apollonios or, if he fails to do so, to pay to Diomedes the said sum in the month of Audnaios, provided that he is not called away on Government business.
