A letter from Eudaimon to Heroninos, manager of an estate unit at Theadelphia, reporting that he has sent wine by hired pack animals: 40 animal loads, amounting to 320 single jars counting the double jars, and asking for a written acknowledgement. The verso carries a short tally of names and figures.

[recto] Eudaimon to his dearest Heroninos, greetings. I sent you today too by hired pack animals: of Neilos 9, of Kastor 7, of Aeion 4, of Sansneus 5, of Kapit(on?) 3, of Neilos 8, of Dioskoros 4; total forty, of wine, including double jars, single monochora three hundred twenty; about which send me a letter. I pray for your health, dearest. Year 3, Thoth 28. [verso] ⟦of Neilos, 1 dichoron⟧ of Sansneus … 15 of Apios … 4

Monochoron and dichoron are standard wine jars of one and two choes capacity; the totals are expressed in single-jar equivalents. The letter belongs to the 3rd-century AD Heroninos archive of the Appianus estate.
