1  ‘Epimachus to his father, many greetings. I make your supplications to the gods of this place. If you are unable to send me acacia-juice, please send me incense here now through the bearer of this letter, for you must know that I am selling it for my purple … cloak, knowing that I can get a good price for it ...’
