Letter from Athene to Herakleides TM 26821unbekanntII - III

A fragmentary private letter from a woman named Athene to Herakleides, whom she addresses as her lord. After the usual greeting and wish for his health, she begins to tell him something that happens daily; the rest mentions a wife, someone's wellbeing and a mother, but is too damaged to follow.

In English machine translation

"Lord" (kyrios) is a common polite form of address in letters and need not imply a master; it could be used of a husband, brother or father. The first line appears to be an address written separately from the letter's opening.
