The end of a private letter mentioning a man who wished to reach an agreement and settle a matter, closing with a request that the recipient look after himself. It was written on Epeiph 20, in the 2nd century AD.
In English machine translation
[…] […]
[…] that […] […]
[…] the man, even before the agreed terms (?) […] was wanting to come to an agreement […] and to complete the matter
[…] to me (?). Do not neglect yourself.
Farewell.
[…] Written Epeiph 20.
Only the closing lines survive; "ta hestamena" probably refers to agreed or fixed terms, but the context is lost.
