As I enjoined you concerning the . . ., please, brother, send me the six jars, through my brother, on the 9th, and provide for as much others as you can.

I have also sent you the current archephodos with a letter concerning his affair, ordering him to come back by the ninth hour of the present day, which is the 7th. I write to you so that you know and do what you want. If you want to . . . him until that hour, I will expedite them. Take care also of the swines, of necessity, until the ninth.
