A private letter in which Eulogios asks Anoupios to hand over fifteen double jars of wine that Anoupios holds on his behalf to their brother Ammonios, itemizing what the total covers. He also asks Anoupios to reproach a woman named Nonas for failing to come to the city with money as she had promised. It dates to the 4th century AD and probably comes from the Hermopolite nome.
A diploun ('double') was a wine jar of standard size, roughly double the ordinary keramion. The word after 'city' (tonsouthon) is unexplained, and the end of the letter is lost.
