Fragment of a private letter in which the writer lists items, including sealed water-jars, a pillow, a hide and a sack, apparently sent or left in the recipients' care, and asks them to do something until he returns. It dates to the 5th century AD.
In English machine translation
[…] one […] and two water-jars, sealed, and
[…] a pillow and a hide; please be so kind
[…] until I return; for with God you hope (?)
[…]; and I have also sent one sack
The left side of every line is lost. The verb 'you hope' (elpizete) may be a scribal form for 'I hope' or an imperative.
