Letter from Appianos to Heroninos about a replacement axle and transport teams TM 11031Theadelphia (Arsinoites)

[verso, centre] From Appianos. By every means find us another suitable axle of 10 cubits or even longer for the estate of Ptolemais Hormou, since the one there suddenly broke; but let it be suitable. If, however, it was bought, report from which carpenter it was bought and its measurements. If it was cut by our own people, report that too, knowing that if you are found at fault in this, you yourself will be responsible for it. I have sent Perigenes the carpenter and the karnon (?) so that it may be brought back from it (?). And since we have distributed the existing camels among the administrative units that have no draught animals for the remaining work of their harvest, let me know whether your work has progressed, so that two teams of four together with the one in Philoteris may go up for the transport of the pottery jars. When they go up, let them have as many wine baskets as they have. But let me know at once. [verso, margin] To Heroninos, manager of Theadelphia. Year 3, Epeiph 12.
