HGV 12979 Translation (English) [xml]

1  ‘Ammonius to his dearest Aphrodisius, greeting. Kindly order the loaves to be made and the olives to be pickled and send me word in order that I may send for them. Get the corn in the granary moved because of the inundation, all of it. Good-bye. Greet Thermion and your children. The 5th year, Soter 21. I have written to you in haste.’
