A letter from Heroneinos, manager (phrontistes) of the estate unit at Sathro, to his employer Alypios, reporting complaints by fishermen about fishing places on the shore and an inquiry made with the tax collector of Sentrepaei. He asks Alypios to decide what should be done. It belongs to the Heroninos archive from Theadelphia, AD 249-268.
The opening lines are badly damaged and the name of the person who sent the writer is illegible. The schoinos is a measure of distance, here apparently describing the extent of the shore.
