A short business letter from Appianos, owner of a large estate, to Eirenaios, the estate manager at Euhemeria, ordering him to send up the workers from Euhemeria, since those from Sathro have already come. It belongs to the Heroninos archive from Theadelphia in the Fayum.

In English machine translation

[recto] From Appianos. Since the men from Sathro have also come up, the men from Euhemeria must also come up; let them come up. For my brother Ophellios informed me that those men, already prepared, have come up. To Eirenaios, phrontistes. Year 3, Tybi 14. [verso] To Eirenaios, phrontistes of Euhemeria.

A phrontistes was the local manager of one unit of a large estate. Appianos was the estate's owner, not a relative of Ophellios: 'brother' is probably a courtesy term between peers.
