A short letter from Nemesion to his employer Apollonios at the quarry settlement of Mons Claudianus in Egypt's Eastern Desert, asking him to take care of the loads of three wagons (two 'dromic' wagons and one four-wheeled wagon) arriving at Claudianus the next day, Tybi 26.
In English machine translation
Nemesion to Apollonios, his dearest employer, greeting.
You will kindly see to the loads of two dromic (wagons) and one four-wheeled (wagon) coming into Claudianus tomorrow, which is Tybi 26.
I pray for your health.
'Dromic' (dromikon) seems to denote a type of fast or light wagon used in the quarry transport, as opposed to the heavy four-wheeled wagon; the exact sense is uncertain. 'Ergodotes' means employer or work-giver.
