A fragmentary private letter addressed to a 'brother', opening with a prayer before the great Sarapis.

In English machine translation

The 'obeisance' (proskynema) formula, an act of worship on the recipient's behalf before Sarapis, is typical of Roman-period letters. The word rendered 'money' is literally 'bronze', i.e. copper coinage.
