A letter-receipt from Horion to Heroninos, manager in the Appianus estate archive, acknowledging receipt of 50 monochora of wine released on the order of Syros, a former kosmetes, for local expenses. It dates to year 2, Mecheir 5, and belongs to the Heroninos correspondence from Theadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.
A monochoron is a single-handled wine jar used as a unit of measure on the estate. The kosmetes was a civic magistrate; Syros had held this office.
