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