Two small fragments of a Greek letter, probably from Memphis, of the 3rd century AD. Fragment A ends with the usual farewell wishing the recipient good health. Fragment B mentions oil, a voyage and something that was not found.

The provenance from Memphis is uncertain. The word read as 'voyage' survives only as a word ending (-plous) and could belong to another word.
