A small fragment, possibly of a letter, addressed in respectful terms to a 'most God-fearing' lady. Only scattered words survive. It dates to the 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] and God-fearing […] most God-fearing […] of (?) …lbianus … […] … beseech (?) […] my lady […] … [… ? lines lost …]

Identification as a letter is tentative. 'Most God-fearing' (theosebestate) is a typical late antique honorific for Christian addressees.

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