Fragmentary letter from Herapion to Heroninos, the manager of an estate unit at Theadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, part of the Heroninos archive of the mid-3rd century AD. Only scattered phrases survive, including a request to send something, and the names Cleopatra and Sarapammon.

"Brother" is a customary form of address between colleagues in this archive and need not mean a blood relation. The name Heroninos in the opening line is restored from the address on the back.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Corrispondenza heroniniana - Herapion). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
