A short letter on an ostracon from Loukas to his 'brother' Herianos, telling him to collect a blanket, a tunic and a cloak from the wagon driver Kol. The address directs it to Valerius Herianus, a cavalryman of the turma of Iulianus at Mons Claudianus, in the 2nd century AD.
In English machine translation
Loukas to Herianos his brother, greetings. Receive from Kol the wagoner the blanket and a tunic and a cloak.
Deliver to Claudianus,
to Valerius Herianus, cavalryman

A turma was a Roman cavalry troop; 'brother' may be a term of familiarity rather than kinship. The name Kol appears abbreviated or unexplained in the text.
