A short order from Alypios, owner of a large estate, to Heroninos, his steward at Thraso, telling him to release 4 two-jar measures of sour wine to Auxanon, the manager at Theoxenis, for the expenses he will account for. Alypios adds an instruction to hand over 4 measures of wine as well. It belongs to the Heroninos archive and is dated 21 September 265, Theadelphia area.
A dichoron is a measure equal to two jars. 'Oxos' is cheap sour wine or vinegar, often given to estate workers.
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.
