In English machine translation

[recto] Herakleides to Theon, greetings. Agathokles arrived on the 26th bringing … two jars of the sandy (?) … for Aristomachos. Farewell. [verso] To Theon

The word hyphammos ("sandy") is unclear here; it may describe sandy land or a kind of product, and an illegible word precedes it.

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.
