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.

In English machine translation

[… 8 lines lost …] […] to the most honoured brother Eulogios […] Isidoros, Olympiodoros, Hermapollon […] of linen cloth to be found in the harbour […] we are coming to you with the […] grain

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.
