Fragment of the opening of a letter from Horion to Apollonios, whom he calls his brother. Only the address and a mention of a man named Kollouthes, apparently delivering something to Apollonios, survive. It comes from the Apollonopolite Heptakomias nome.
In English machine translation
Horion to Apollonios his brother, greetings.
[…] Kollouthes […]
[…] delivering (?) to you […]
[…]
"Brother" may be a term of affection between associates rather than a family relationship. The participle "delivering" is partly restored.
