Fragment of a letter with a request TM 1658unbekanntMitte III v.Chr.

A small fragment of a Greek letter from the mid-3rd century BC, using the polite request formula "you would do well if" and mentioning whatever the recipient may need and the month of Epeiph. Too little survives to identify the people involved or the matter.
In English machine translation
[…] you would do well if […]
[…] of whatever you may need […]
[…] and it will be for you […]
[…] from the month of Epeiph […]
The text probably belongs to the Zenon archive, to which this volume of papyri is devoted, but the surviving lines do not say so. The month name Epeiph is partly restored.
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.
