Circular from Alypios to Heroninos on replanting vineyards TM 11005Theadelphia (Arsinoites)27. Dez. 265 - 25. Jan. 266

[recto] From Alypios. It is now the season for attending to the works. Therefore take care, those of you who have irrigated (water-lifted) estates, now that the earth has been baked and is ready for the hoe, before the pruning to dig trenches in all places that need it, so that not a single spot of the fields is lacking in vine. Likewise dig trenches in the flat lands before the pruning, not pruning until the places of these fields that are lacking in vine have been filled up. If anyone disobeys these letters of mine, it will not go well for him. Collect Theban and white cuttings of not less than 20 palms, and if anything bigger or more, let him provide it so. Let the cut plants be put into water at once so that they do not dry out, knowing that for each stewardship of the planted places I am noting down the location of each steward and estate, so that if anyone puts in anything contrary to my order, or instead of a Theban or white cutting a garden vine or some other cutting, he will be penalized with a penalty he does not expect. I pray for your good health much. Signed. To Heroninos, steward of Thraso. Year 13, Tybi. [verso] From Alypios to Heroninos, steward of Thraso.
