A private or business letter from Ptollarion to Kronion, asking him to supply male pack animals in connection with wool belonging to Ptollarion son of Amatios. It dates to the 2nd century AD and comes from Tebtynis in the Fayum.
Only the opening request is intelligible; the rest survives as scattered words. The verb rendered 'deposited' could also mean 'paid down' or 'brought down'.
