A short private letter on an ostracon from Tiberius Claudius to his 'brother' Trecundus, reporting that he has sent five matia of malt via Laberas and asking him to sell it, send back the money, and say who will carry it. It comes from the Roman quarry settlement of Mons Claudianus in the second half of the 2nd century AD.
In English machine translation
Tiberius Claudius to Trecundus, his brother, greetings.
I have sent you through Laberas 5 matia of malt.
When you have sold these, send me the small change, and write to me through whom you will send it.
Farewell.
The mation is a small dry measure; 'brother' may be a form of address rather than kinship. 'Kerma' means small coin or cash.
