A short letter from Ischyrion to Heroninos, estate manager in the Heroninos archive, telling him that Alypios is arriving tomorrow with the dioiketes and that fishermen should be sent overnight with plenty of the best fish, arriving at dawn. It dates to 28 February 260 and comes from Theadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

From Ischyrion. Since my lord Alypios has written that he is coming here tomorrow with the dioiketes, take care to send off during the night the fishermen you have with you, carrying fish in the greatest quantity and of the finest quality. But let them come up at dawn. I pray for your health. To Heroninos, manager, at Thraso (?). Year 7, Phamenoth 3

Alypios was the great landowner whose estate Heroninos managed; the dioiketes here is probably the estate's chief administrator. 'Thraso' in the address is perhaps a place name.
