Fragment of the opening of a private letter addressed to a man named Ptolemaios, called 'brother'. The writer reports that he has no one available, with a mention of the Arsinoite nome and of someone or something connected with Antoninus. It dates to the 2nd-3rd century AD, probably from the Arsinoite nome (Fayum).

The phrase 'those of Antoninus' may refer to people or property belonging to an emperor or a private person named Antoninus; the context is lost. 'Brother' may be a term of affection rather than literal kinship.
