Two small fragments of a Greek letter from the mid-3rd century BC that mentions someone arriving, something black, wine, and an attempt to hold or detain something. Too little survives to reconstruct the matter.

In English machine translation

[Fragment 1] […] […] […] […] […] […] arrived(?) […] […] of him, immediately having brought(?) […] […] black […] […] the wine […] […] to detain(?) […] […] […] […] [Fragment 2] […] […] […] […] […] […] the wine […] […] on this […]

The text is written along the fibers; it belongs to a group of small fragments, probably from the Zenon archive. The word translated 'black' may describe the wine or something else.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Small Fragments: Letters Written with the Fibers). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
