A short business note from Alypios, owner of a large estate, to Heroninos, his local manager, instructing him to sell 12 double jars of wine released from the Eikosipentarouroi unit and use the money for the estate works. A signed postscript raises the price to 44 drachmas per jar. Written 12 May 262 in the Theadelphia area of the Fayum.

In English machine translation

From Alypios. The 12 dichora of wine released to you from the estate unit of Eikosipentarouroi, dispose of them at 42 drachmas and spend (the proceeds) on the works in your charge. I have signed. And dispose of the 12 dichora of wine at 44 drachmas per dichoron. To Heroninos, manager of Thraso. Year 9, Pachon 17.

Part of the Heroninos archive; a dichoron is a two-chous wine jar. The postscript seems to correct the price from 42 to 44 drachmas, apparently per jar, though the main text's figure is ambiguous.
