Fragment of a private Greek letter in which the writer expresses displeasure with the addressee, mentions managing a household, and sends greetings to the addressee's wife and children. It dates to the 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] […] the soul towards me. I am displeased with you, for you bore witness to me […] […] to manage the house […] I greet your wife and the children […]

The phrase 'the soul towards me' probably belongs to an expression of affection or attitude whose beginning is lost.
