HGV 20563 Translation (English) [xml]

(Translation: from P.Oxy. 2) Theon to his esteemed Tyrannus, many greetings. Heraclides, the bearer of this letter, is my brother. I therefore entreat you with all my power to treat him as your protégé. I have also written to your brother Hermias asking him to communicate with you about him. You will confer upon me a very great favour if Heraclides gains your notice. Before all else you have my good wishes for unbroken health and prosperity. Good-bye. (Addressed ‘To Tyrannus, dioecetes.)
