In English machine translation
Libianos to his dearest Sarapammon, many greetings.
I also make obeisance for you before the lady Isis in Raima. Receive from Januarius a bundle of cabbages. Do not neglect to write to me about your well-being.

The ostracon carries two dispatch notes from Libianos to Sarapammon; this is one of them, and its end is lost. The word translated 'cabbages' (kauleoi) can also mean stalks or stems of vegetables.
