A fragmentary letter from Athenodoros to Skolops asking him, apparently, to come at once with a list of farmers, mentioning a sum in drachmas. It is dated to year 21 of Augustus (10-9 BC) in the Herakleopolite nome, and a partial list of farmers' names follows the letter.

In English machine translation

Athenodoros to Skolops, greetings. […] […] the ten farmers (?) […] immediately ⟦having come⟧ having the list of the […] farmers and […] […] drachmas […] Farewell. Year 21 of Caesar, […] The list of the farmers: Pnepheros, son of Komas […] Alexandros of Tanchais […] […] of Trikomia […] […]

Line 3 is an unintelligible string of letters in the edition and is left untranslated. Tanchais and Trikomia appear to be village names, but the readings are damaged.
