End of a private letter on an ostracon from Mons Claudianus, in which the writer asks the recipient to send word on whether certain items were received, and sends greetings to fellow soldiers. It dates to the mid-2nd century AD.
In English machine translation
[… lines lost …]
[…] you did not write me word whether I received them or did not receive them. Write me word that I received or did not receive.
I greet the fellow soldiers by name. Farewell.
The beginning of the letter is lost; the writer is tentatively identified as Ischyrion. The odd phrasing 'that I received' probably means 'whether you received', a slip or colloquial usage by the writer.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment of a Letter from Ischyrion ?). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
