A short private letter on an ostracon from Maximus to Cassianus, whom he calls his son-in-law and brother, consisting mostly of greetings. It was found at the Roman quarry site of Mons Claudianus in Egypt's Eastern Desert.
In English machine translation
Maximus to Cassianus, his son-in-law and brother, greetings. Greet your daughter. Artemis greets you all. Greet all those who love us.
Farewell.
"Brother" is likely an affectionate term here rather than a literal kinship, since Cassianus is also called son-in-law. The name Artemis is spelled Artemeis in the text.
