In English machine translation
[recto]
Please be so kind as to go to (?) Pikap (?), your horse, and harness it (?) for her.
[verso]
Bless her son (?), so that the Lord may bless her and keep her for you.
The second line of the recto and the opening of the verso are hard to interpret, so 'Pikap' (possibly a name or a place) and 'her son' are uncertain readings. The verb read as 'harness' (mour, 'to bind') is also a guess from the context.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
