My dear Smyly,
Ever so many thanks for
the Eudoxus² notes which are just
what we wanted. I am so sorry
that you have been laid up with
rheumatism. October chez vous
is I know rather trying. It is
a shame to bother you any more
when I expect you are particularly

busy, but could since Hermathena³
still lingers, could you send me
on a card just the double dates
of Epiphanes⁴ and Philometor⁵ which you
are discussing? I want to include
them in my table,⁶ but not to
talk about them
