Fragment of the end of a Greek letter from the middle of the 3rd century BC, probably from the Zenon archive. The surviving phrases mention a man named Rhodon and barley, urge the recipient to act without hesitation, and close with a farewell.

In English machine translation

[…] […] … and […] […] Rhodon […] […] and the barley […] […] through the … […] […] and likewise also […] […] … not hesitantly (?) […] […] those with you […] […] … Farewell. […]

Only the ends or middles of lines survive, so the content is uncertain. The letter is probably from the Zenon archive, but the given records do not state where it was written.

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.
