A small fragment from the back of a papyrus, apparently the end of a letter with greetings from several people, including the mother of someone, a Silvanus and a child, followed by the closing "Farewell". It probably comes from Theadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

[Fragment B, verso] […] and his (?) mother […] […]rouros and […] [and Sil]vanus will greet […] [and] her (?) child […] all of hers […] receiving […] Farewell […]

The record catalogues the text as a petition, but the surviving greetings and closing "Farewell" on this verso fragment suggest a letter. The name Silvanus is partly restored..

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Petition). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
