Hierokles to Zenon, greetings. […]es, who delivers to you this letter, happens to be related to the wife of Apollodotos. In their ignorance thereof, the men of Tlepolemos have referred his possessions to the royal (treasury), and in addition [number] drachmas are exacted for [number] years. Please take care that they grant him a delay till the next harvest. Apollodotos too cares (about the matter), so that I am convinced that you can manage. Year 35, Tubi 21. Hierokles to Zenon.
