Opening of a private letter on an ostracon from Didymoi, sent by Sentas to his 'brother' Julianus; only the greeting and the start of a request to find out something survive.
'Brother' may be a courtesy term rather than a family relationship. The text breaks off after the verb 'to find out', so the subject of the request is unknown.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Letters not Attached to a Group). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
