[…] above (?) Memphis […]
Athenodoros, manager of the estates of Asklepiades in the Herakleopolite nome, many greetings.
Before all else, take care of yourself so that you stay well.
Farewell.
Year 26 of Caesar, Epeiph 17.
The surviving greeting line looks like the opening of a letter from Athenodoros, oddly placed just before the closing formulas; it may belong to a second letter copied on the same sheet. A phrontistes was a private estate manager or agent.
