End of a private letter from Korellios, who addresses the recipient as his son, together with Didymos, Pheidias, Patos and Ales, who call him their patron.

In English machine translation

[recto] [… lines lost …] […] For indeed we know precisely that we have been counted among these in your disposition towards us. Know that all your people and we ourselves are in good health; and we ask you to write to us, so that, having learned about your well-being, we may be cheered and cease to be anxious. I, Korellios, pray for your health for many years, my lord son. I, Didymos, pray for your health for many years, my lord patron. I, Pheidias, pray for your health for many years, my lord patron. I, Patos, pray for your health for many years, my lord patron. I, Ales, pray for your health for many years, my lord patron. We greet Dioskoros and Eudaimon and the slaves (?) with you. [verso] […] [and] of Ales and of Patos

The beginning of the letter is lost. The word paides in the greetings can mean children or slaves/servants.; the find place is assumed from the publication series and is not given in the records.
