A short business letter from Alypios, owner of a large estate, to Heroninos, manager of the estate unit at Thraso, part of the Heroninos archive. Alypios has sent ox-drawn transport to fetch timber for building works and orders Heroninos to supply the usual fodder for the oxen and expenses for their drivers.
The word karna is obscure; from context it probably denotes ox-carts or teams used for hauling. 'Thraso' is a unit (phrontis) of the Appianus estate managed by Heroninos.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Corrispondenza heroniniana - Alypios). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
