A small fragment of a sixth-century AD Greek letter from Aphrodito in the Antaiopolite nome, part of the archive of Dioskoros. The surviving words mention a letter-carrier, a request to send something to the city, and an instruction to demand something back.
In English machine translation
[…] those who came upon (?) the letter-carrier […]
[…] send me to the city […]
[…] and demand it back […]
Belongs to the archive of Dioskoros of Aphrodito. Only the ends of three lines survive, so the context is lost.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
