A short letter from Alypios, the estate owner, to Heroninos, manager of the Thraso estate, reminding him to prepare half-dried hay because Alypios will arrive in the nome in two days to inspect the work. It belongs to the Heroninos archive and was written on 8 March 260 at Theadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.
A phrontistes was the local manager of an estate unit; Thraso was one of the units of Alypios' estate. The Greek actually reads "to the law" (nomon), evidently a slip for "nome" (district).
