Fragmentary private letter of the 3rd century AD from a woman (perhaps named Kyrilla) to her sisters. Surviving phrases mention a ring, a pound weight, a little box, instructions on using something, the recipient's mother, a request to write back, and greetings.

Only the right or left portions of lines survive, so connected sense is lost; the sender's name Kyrilla is a guess from the traces.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Private letters). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
