Notes

The text is fragmentary and somewhat unclear. It appears to be a brief letter or note concerning livestock (specifically a pregnant sow) and expresses a wish for good health. The sender is Thraso, and the recipient is Heroneinos, identified as a caretaker or manager ("phrontistes"). The date is given as year 4, month of Phaophi, and the note is sent via Alypios.
