A fragmentary Christian-era letter addressed to a respected 'good master', informing him about some matter and asking that something be sought from the writer at the proper time. The verso address names Neilammon son of Ieremias from the village of Kerkesephis. It dates to the second half of the 6th century AD, from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

In English machine translation

[recto] We wish to let my good master know that one […] […] for weaving (?). Let your authority be entreated […] and of whatever kind, you will seek this from me at the proper time […] my good master. † [verso] […] Neilammon son of Ieremias from Kerkesephis […]

The word rendered 'for weaving' (φῆναι, probably for ὑφῆναι) is uncertain. It is unclear whether Neilammon is the sender or the recipient named in the address.

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