Isidoros is addressed as ἄδελφος (line 1, 6) and Sion explains how Eusebios has reported on happenings on the fields, where the workers have abandoned their posts. Although intent on hiring other workers, Didymos has said that there is no money. There is mention of Isidoros’ brother and the πραιποσιτούρα, which has left for the Oasis, the month of Epeiph, and Zosimos, whom Isidoros does not need to worry about.
