Small fragment of a Greek letter on papyrus from Roman Egypt, 3rd century AD. Only isolated words survive, including a mention of a dispatch and, on the back, part of an address to a father.

In English machine translation

[recto] … […] … and the […] to her … […] … it … […] … someone (?) calls … […] for dispatch […] … married (?) … […] [recto, margin] … [verso] […] to (his) father, from … […]

The verso line appears to be the address, sent to the writer's father. The word read as 'married' (egame-) is uncertain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment de lettre). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
