Fragment of a private letter from the third century AD, preserving mainly the closing greetings. The writer sends greetings to his brother, to a man also called Ploutarchos, to Tanechotis and her children, and to Demetrios with his wife and children, among others.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] my […] is idle. I greet […] my brother and […] also called Ploutarchos and […] and Tanechotis and her children […] their children and Demetrios […] with his wife and children and […] his children and the […] my […] letters […] […] […]

The phrase about something of the writer's being idle (argei) has lost its subject, so its sense is unclear.

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