The following letter is written in Greek and includes an Israeli address at the bottom.
To Whom It May Concern,
I write to you with the intention of finding a man lost at sea. My father is a powerful merchant that uses your docks on a number of occasions and I have been assured of a quick and effective resolution to this investigation.
The man in question is a trader of adult age that once answered to the name of Isaiah of Matthias. He is of Judean origin and will speak Hebrew as his primary language. He is of average height and claims hazel eyes and dark hair. His smile is very bright.
This man was a slave upon a Grecian galley ship that was later sunk in the southern waters of the Aegean sea. I know not where the craft finally came to rest, nor how many of her crew survived. I am looking for as much information as possible regarding any individuals that may match the above description.
If you would be so kind as to look upon your records and identify whether such an individual has tried to enter your city after having been shipwrecked on your shore or docked with you as a passenger on another ship. He may still be a slave in the care of those he served, or he could be presenting himself as a free individual.
It is of greatest importance that this man is located. If you would be so kind as to forward me a letter with any such information to the address that I have recited below.
I would be truly thankful of such attentions and wish for the great God Poseidon to bless your business and the souls of the men that travel through your docklands. I hope that Zeus keeps you safe within his sheltering embrace.
Yours cordially and with kindness,
Hannah of Acharist
