Opening of a private letter on an ostracon from Didymoi, a Roman fort in the Eastern Desert, sent by Trebellius to his 'brother' Sallustius. After the usual greetings and health wishes the text breaks off, with only a mention of shame or disgrace surviving.
In English machine translation
Trebellius to Sallustius his brother, very many [greetings …]
Brother, I pray [that you are in good health],
and I myself am also [in good health.] […]
[…]
shame (?) […]

'Brother' is a common form of address between comrades or colleagues and need not mean a blood relative. The record groups this ostracon with letters sent or written by a certain Maximus.
