1	You wrote to me about Apollonia,
2	that she had first choice in
3	purchasing the grain, but when
4	she came before I sold
5	she refused to take it at
6	the universal price in the city,
7	but she said "you will sell for
8	32 drachmas", and I could not bring
9	myself to do it. Moreover,
10	your tenant in Arabia
11	pestered me about arax
12	and I could not find any anywhere,
13	so I had to go
14	to her and she gave
15	me a half-artab in loan,
16	saying "if you don't find
17	--- banditry ---"
