A short business letter from Syros to Heroninos, manager of an estate unit at Theadelphia, sending a man named Demeas to fetch firewood for Herapion and asking Heroninos to give him the usual allowance and food rations. It belongs to the Heroninos archive and dates to 5 October 257.
In English machine translation
Syros to his dearest Heroninos, greetings.
I have sent you Demeas the karnarios for firewood for Herapion; provide him also with the customary allowance and the rations.
Year 5, Phaophi 8. I pray for your health, dearest.
The term karnarios is obscure and is left untranslated; it probably denotes an occupation or a type of worker. The letter is part of the third-century Heroninos archive of the Appianus estate.
