1  Polykrates to his father, greetings. If you are in good health and everything else is as you wish, this would be fine. We are in good health too. I have often written to you to come over and introduce me, so that I may be relieved from my present unemployment. And now, if it is possible and nothing of the works prevents you, try to come for the Arsinoeia. I am convinced that if you come, I will be easily introduced to the King. 5  Know that I have received from Philonides 70 drachmas. From this I have left half for daily expenses, the remainder I have paid for the loan. That happens because we do not get all our money at once, but in small instalments. Do write us yourself also, so that we may know how you are and so that we do not worry. Take care of yourself that you may be well and that you may come to us in good health. Respectfully.
