Description

Letter from Apion to Didymos, telling him that his sister is ill, and urging him t come to Theogonis at once.
Translation: Apion to Didymos, greeting. Put off everything, and come to me immediately upon receiving this letter of mine, as your sister is sick. And when you come, bring the white tunic of hers that you have, but the turquoise one do not bring; but if you wish to sell it, sell it, if you wish to let your daughter have it, do so. But do not neglect her in any way, and do not trouble your wife or children, and when you come, come to Theogonis. I pray for your health.
