A short letter or order from Athanasios, a man of illustris rank, to the notary Senouthios, telling him to release at once a hired workman of a carpenter from Sebaemphis who is making timber for Ioannakios, the notary of Athanasios' brother. He also asks Senouthios to tell the people of Lenaiou to stop troubling these men. It comes from the Hermopolite nome.
The phrase 'hired man of the letter-carrier, the carpenter' is ambiguous; the catalogue understands it as the hired worker of a carpenter. The ending of the recto breaks off, and Senouthios is known elsewhere as notary and tax collector (anystes).
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Athanasios a Senouthios notarios (e anystes). Ordine di liberare il salariato di un carpentiere). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
