In English machine translation
From Ischyrion.
I have sent Demeas the ox-driver together with the karnos (?) being brought for an axle to the estate of Nikomedes; provide him with the customary allowance and the fodder for the oxen. I pray for your health.
To Heroninos, manager of Thraso.
Year 6, Pachon 21.
The word karnos is obscure; in context it seems to denote a piece of timber or wooden part transported to make an axle. Thraso was one of the units of the Appianus estate managed by Heroninos.
