A business letter from Syros to Heroninos, manager of an estate unit at Theadelphia, instructing him to hand over 100 monochora of wine to Eirenaios, the manager at Euhemeria, either from wine sent from Ibion or from other stock, and to get a receipt. It belongs to the third-century AD Heroninos archive.

In English machine translation

Syros to his dearest Heroninos, greetings. If you have any of the wine transferred to you from Ibion, deliver to Eirenaios, the phrontistes of Euhemeria, another 100 monochora, total 100. If not, deliver from the more readily available stock you have the same 100, their value going toward the expenses in his charge, for which he will render account; and receive from him a written acknowledgement of receipt. I pray for your health, dearest. Year 3, Phaophi 6.

A monochoron is a wine jar of one chous capacity; a phrontistes was the local manager of an estate unit in the Appianus estate. The regnal year 3 is probably of a mid-3rd-century emperor (c. AD 250s).
