A small fragment of a letter, apparently Christian, mentioning the Lord God, something done on the recipient's behalf, and a sum of silver. Only scattered phrases survive; it probably dates to the 4th century AD.
The Christian character rests mainly on the phrase "to the Lord God"; most lines are too damaged for continuous sense.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment d’une lettre chrétienne). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
