Extract
The Papyrus Tebtunis 33 contains the copy of a letter, probably from a high official at Alexandria, to Asklepiades, superintendent of revenues, announcing the approaching visit to the Fayûm of Lucius Memmius, a Roman senator who was coming as a tourist, and giving instructions for his reception and entertainment. The copy is enclosed in a letter, dated [(ἔτους)] ε Ξαντικοῦ ιζ Μεχεὶρ ιζ (i.e. 112 B.C.), from Hermias—probably the Hermias mentioned in the lengthy document P. Teb. 27 of 113 B.C.—to Horos, the royal scribe, telling him to take care that its instructions are followed.
