Jesus Christ.
I, Frange, am writing, greeting his sister Martyria. I greet you greatly with all my heart. Remember me in your holy prayers.
In love (?).
"Sister" is probably a spiritual title for a fellow religious rather than a blood relation. The closing word, the Greek agape ("love"), probably belongs to a formula such as "in the love of God".
