Kopres to Heroninos his brother, greetings.
I have received from you, on account of expenses, 48 monochora (single jars) in the month of Tybi. So send me some now as well, since I need them. I pray for your health.
Monochoron is a wine jar of single capacity, a standard unit in the Heroninos estate accounts. "Brother" is a conventional address between colleagues, not necessarily kinship.
