I have calculated the cost of two loads of purple wool for you. The price is { 1 and 2/3 } { (2 mss. have instead:) 2/3 } mana of silver -- bring me the equivalent in tin. And look out for quartz (?), …… stone and …… stone. Your extra silver and the capital have been held for you and recorded on a clay tablet. From now on news should be brought about you. It is urgent.
