A business letter from Monimos to Heroninos, manager of an estate at Theadelphia, acknowledging receipt of a delivery of wine brought by donkey-drivers on 7 she-donkeys. He asks not to be sent vinegar, citing instructions received in a letter, and offers to sell Heroninos's own wine for him as usual.

In English machine translation

Monimos to his dearest Heroninos, greetings. I received also today, which is Choiak 19, through Herakleon and Heous (?), donkey-drivers, by means of 7 she-donkeys, wine: 12 dichora, 24 monochora, total in single measures 56 monochora. But do not be willing to send me vinegar; for I have received instructions through the little letter from the honourable man. And if you think fit to send me some of your own from these, so that, as is your custom, I may sell them for you. I pray for your health. Year 3, Choiak 19.

Part of the Heroninos archive of the Appianus estate. Dichora and monochora are wine jars of two and one units; 12 dichora plus 24 monochora equal 48, yet the text gives a total of 56, perhaps a scribal error.)
