A small fragment of a private letter on an ostracon from Kysis in the Great (Kharga) Oasis. Only a phrase reporting that someone said something and the standard closing wish for the addressee's health survive.

In English machine translation

[…] and he said that […] […] […] I pray for your health for many years.

The word after "that" (written ας) is incomplete and cannot be translated with confidence.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Lettre privée). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
