A short administrative order from Alypios, owner of a large estate, to Horion, manager of the estate unit at Sentrepaei, telling him to enter in his accounts 100 monochora of wine released from the estate unit of Thraso, valued at 18 drachmas each. It belongs to the Heroninos archive and was written in December 264 AD in the Theadelphia area of the Arsinoite nome.
In English machine translation
From Alypios.
Credit, against the expenses on your account, the 100 monochora of wine released to you from the estate of Thraso, at the rate of 18 drachmas per monochoron, total 18 drachmas.
I have signed. And credit the 100 monochora of wine at 18 drachmas, as stated above.
To Horion, manager at Sentrepaei.
Year 12, Choiak 7
A monochoron is a single-measure wine jar; a phrontis is one of the estate's managed units. The total written as 18 drachmas apparently gives the unit price rather than the sum for 100 jars.
