A short letter on an ostracon from Mons Claudianus in which Sokrates informs Athenodoros and Isidoros that a load is ready on the loading platform and asks for prompt action once the wagon arrives. It relates to the transport of stone or goods at the imperial quarry.
In English machine translation
Sokrates to Athenodoros and Isidoros, most honoured, greetings. I want you to know that the load is ready on the platform. So immediately, if the wagon arrives, […]
I pray for your health.
The word translated 'platform' (krepis) likely refers to a loading ramp at the quarry; the instruction after the wagon's arrival is lost in illegible traces.
