A short business note from Ischyrion to Heroninos, estate manager at Theadelphia, instructing him to give the usual fodder to 14 camels accompanying Polykarpos and Protys. It belongs to the Heroninos archive of the mid-3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

From Ischyrion. To the camels, 14 in number, escorting Polykarpos and Protys, provide the customary fodder. I pray for your health, dearest. […] To Heroninos, manager of ⟦Dionysias⟧ Thraso […] Hathyr 5

In the address the scribe deleted 'Dionysias' and wrote 'Thraso', apparently correcting the name of the estate unit Heroninos managed. The Greek construction of 'escorting' is ambiguous; the camels may instead be escorted by Polykarpos and Protys.
