In English machine translation

The phrase 'apolysidion monochoron hekaton pentekonta' is obscure; apolysidion may mean a release order or small item, and monochoron 'single-space', so the sense of what was sent is uncertain. The letter belongs to the archive of Heroninos, manager of Alypios' estate at Theadelphia.
