Fragment of a letter addressed to a certain Eulogios, called 'most honoured brother', apparently from Isidoros, Olympiodoros and Hermapollon. The surviving phrases mention linen cloth, something found in the harbour, a visit to Eulogios and grain. It dates to the 4th century AD and probably comes from Hermopolis.
The names Isidoros, Olympiodoros and Hermapollon may be the senders of the letter or people mentioned in it; the context is lost. 'Brother' may be a courtesy form of address rather than a family relationship.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
