Zoilos urges his mother to provide accomodation there for him and his co-workers.

APIS Translation (English)

"Zoilos to my mother Theodora, greetings. When I arrived in Thallou today, I found everyone at my brother's house in good health. But my sister Techosous is fearfully ill, and I expect that she will give birth today to a seven months' baby. If then she comes through it successfully, I will let you know what happened. Inaroous, the father of the little one, who brings you this letter, together with Akes, son of Pachymis, the weaver, and with the others also, has gone to Oxyrhynchos to work off an inescapable obligation imposed on them in the domain of the most estimable Hieronikes. You will do well therefore to give them the key to the room of the . . . in the gate-house. For Eudaimonis says that they have first come to you so that they may stay there until they obtain lodging from your lord. Salute all our people; Eudaimonis and Techosous and all who are here salute you. And she gave to the same men for expenses . . .";(Verso): "From Zoilos to Theodora, his mother."
