Letter

(2nd April, 246 B.C.)

The author, whose name is lost, asks his correspondent, probably Zenon, to write to Iason to let him have the lodging of Theopompos to live in. His present quarters, he says, belong to Phileas the former secretary for the Arsinoite nome, who has now recovered his property from the dioiketes and is ordering him to evacuate. If the dwelling of Theopompos is not available, he asks for a letter from Sostratos telling his people to hand over his house.
