A short letter-receipt in which Horion acknowledges to Heroninos, manager at Theadelphia, that he received 32 monochora of wine for the works under his charge, on the order of Syros, a former kosmetes. It belongs to the Heroninos archive from the Arsinoite nome and is dated year 3, Choiak 30.
A monochoron was a single-measure wine jar used on the Appianus estate. The phrase about the euschemon (a title for a man of standing) is obscure, and the regnal year is not tied to a named emperor here, though the Heroninos archive dates to the mid-3rd century AD.
