A small fragment of the right-hand ends of lines from a Greek document, probably a letter, from the middle of the 3rd century BC. It mentions ropes, things already given, an instruction to give something, a request to send, and equipment.

In English machine translation

[...] [...] ropes (?) [...] I have given [...] but the rest [...] you order to give [...] ... to whom it is necessary [...] send me [...] having delivered [...] equipment

The text likely belongs to the Zenon archive, which would place it in the Fayum (Philadelphia), but this is not stated in the records. The Greek word skeue can mean equipment, tackle or baggage.

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.
