A short private letter from Ptollarion to Kronion asking him to send something urgently, now that vineyard dues have been registered, because farming work must be done. It comes from Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

Ptollarion to Kronion, greetings. Now that the vineyard [taxes/payments?] have been registered, send me immediately […] […], since it is necessary to farm. Farewell.

The object of the request is lost in a gap; 'ampelika' probably refers to vineyard taxes or dues that had been registered. Kronion is likely the well-known Tebtynis grapheion official of the Kronion archive.
