[…] to us the animals with you […] let the usual service be ready, and dry fodder for my animals, or also dry (fodder?) and barley.
I pray for your health.
To Heroninos, manager.
Mecheir 17
Heroninos was the phrontistes (local manager) of an estate unit of the Appianus estate. The repeated 'dry' (fodder) in the text seems to be a scribal slip.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Corrispondenza heroniniana - Incerti o ignoti, ad Heroninos). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
