A short business note from Alypios, owner of a large estate, to his manager Heroninos at Theadelphia. Alypios reports that the village headmen of Taureinou admitted an error concerning the son of the donkey-driver Akes, overseer of the Chrysochoos holding, and promised to deduct a payment from his monthly allowances, so Heroninos should adjust his accounts. Dated 23 October 257.
Part of the Heroninos archive of the Appianus estate; the word translated 'manager' is phrontistes, the local estate manager. The address on the back originally named Dionysias, which was struck out and replaced with Theadelphia.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
