A short business letter from Tryphon to Heroneinos, the estate manager at Theadelphia in the Fayum, asking him to send a quantity of barley promptly, carefully measured, which Tryphon will enter in their accounts. It belongs to the Heroninos archive of the mid-3rd century AD.
In English machine translation
Tryphon to Heroneinos his brother, greetings.
Having released the [animals?] for tomorrow, send at once […] artabas of barley, measuring them well, and I will enter them in our accounts until I come to you. But do not neglect this now too.
I pray for your health, brother.
Year 2, Mecheir 13.
The opening request is partly restored and its exact sense (what is to be released for tomorrow) is uncertain; the number of artabas is lost. 'Brother' is a customary form of address among estate staff, not necessarily kinship.
