Fragment of a papyrus carrying the end of one letter and the beginning of another, apparently both connected with a certain Heron. The first mentions a purchase, difficulties, two workmen of Heron and Alexandria; the second is from Heron to his brothers Dareios and Aninos and mentions the village of Polydeukia in the Fayum.
The sheet preserves parts of two separate letters. Polydeukia was a village in the Arsinoite nome (Fayum); the word following 'in full' (diageoi…) is unclear.
