End of a private letter found at the Roman fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. Only the closing greetings survive, addressed to (or sent on behalf of) the curator, Diogenes, Didas and all those who love the recipient, followed by the farewell.
The curator (kourator) was the officer in charge of a desert fort or station. The opening of the letter is lost, so the sender, recipient and purpose are unknown.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
