A letter from Apollonios to Heroninos, manager of an estate at Theadelphia, part of the Heroninos archive of the mid-3rd century AD. Apollonios complains that he twice sent the donkey-driver Sokrates without his receiving anything, and asks that the goods be ready, together with another load from Pelouros, so the donkey-driver is not kept idle.
The opening lines are damaged, so what exactly was to be made ready is lost. The donkey-driver's name is abbreviated as Sokra(-), probably Sokrates.
