Μάξιμος Σερήνῳ χαίρειν. ἀσπάζομαί σε πολλά. τὰ δύο ἡμέρια καὶ πέμψω σοι λάχανα. μὴ ἀμέλι μοι γράφιν περὶ τῆς σωτηρίας σου. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.

A short private letter on an ostracon from Maximos to Serenos, sending greetings, promising to send vegetables, and asking for news of his well-being. It comes from the Roman fort at Raima in the Eastern Desert and dates to the middle of the 2nd century AD.
In English machine translation
Maximos to Serenos, greetings.
I greet you warmly. The two days (?) and I will send you vegetables. Do not neglect to write to me about your well-being.
I pray for your health.
The phrase τὰ δύο ἡμέρια is obscure; it may refer to two days or to a measure, and its connection with the sending of vegetables is unclear.
