… καὶ οὐκ ἐφόρεσα ἀπὸ τῶν δύο εἰ μὴ μίαν , ἔχω τὴν ἄλλην. καὶ μη ἀμελήσῃς. ἀπόστειλόν μοι τὴν φάσιν καὶ οὐ θέλω χόνδρον ἐρρῶσθαι εὔχομαι.

End of a private letter in Greek in which the writer says that of two items they wore only one and still have the other, asks the recipient not to neglect the matter, and requests news. It dates to the 5th century AD.
In English machine translation
[…]
and I did not wear (?) of the two except one; I have the other.
And do not neglect this. Send me the news, and I do not want groats (?).
I pray for your health.
The beginning of the letter is lost, so what the two items were is unknown. 'Chondros' usually means groats or coarse meal, and its sense here is uncertain.
