Lysias to Horos, greetings. As soon as you get this letter, postpone everything and attend the shaking of the sown fall sesame on the personal allotment of Stasikrates, the holder of one hundred arourai, which he possesses near Trikomia, and see to it that you guard it energically, as you will be held accountable to us regarding these matters. Farewell. Year 6, Hathyr 6.
