A private letter on an ostracon from the Roman fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert, from Terentius to Domitius. He acknowledges a flask of oil that Longinus forwarded from Kompasi and promises to return the flask and send a tablet through Epiktetos, asking what else Domitius wants.
In English machine translation
Terentius to Domitius, greetings.
You sent me a lekythos of oil. Longinus sent me the lekythos from Kompasi.
If Epiktetos goes down, I will send you through him the little flask and a tablet, and write to me what I should send you […]

A lekythos is a small oil flask. Kompasi was another station on the road between Koptos and Berenike; the end of the letter is lost.
