A small fragment of a Greek letter from the mid-3rd century BC, mentioning a request to write to the addressee, sums of 20 drachmas and 6 artabas, and possibly sacrificial animals or priests. Most of the text is lost.
The word read as hiereiōn could mean 'sacrificial animals' or be a form related to priests or priestesses; the context is too broken to decide. The text likely belongs to the Zenon archive, though no place is given in the records.
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.
