Fragment of a Christian letter from the end of the 6th century AD, now in Genoa. The surviving lines mention debtors, the holy people and the sick, acting first for God, and the care of the recipient's soul, and end with a farewell "in the Lord".
In English machine translation
[… lines lost …]
[…] to those who owe […]
[…] of the holy people and of the sick of the […]
[…] and not to allow him by anyone […]
[…] doing (it?) for God first, then […]
[…] of your soul is cared for (?) before […]
† (I pray that you) fare well in the Lord.
The beginning of the letter and the left side of every line are lost, so the request being made cannot be reconstructed. The closing "fare well in the Lord" is a standard Christian farewell formula.
