A small fragment of a letter from the Heroninos archive, written by an unknown sender to Heroninos, manager of an estate unit at Theadelphia in the Fayum. It seems to ask that some wooden items be kept ready so they can be sent somewhere, apparently in connection with estate business.

In English machine translation

[…] […] to him (?) […] […] which (?) […] and the […] […] the wooden ones ready […] […] so that they may be sent to […] […] of the (estate) management (?) […] […] […]

Phrontis (here 'management') is the term for an administrative unit of the large Appianus estate, which Heroninos managed at Theadelphia. The sender's name is lost.

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 Heronino). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
