Fragment of a sixth-century AD letter in Greek. The writer mentions a petition or meeting, says that something for his lord was not completed, and asks the addressee to deign to act in accordance with an old list or register (breve). The address on the back directs delivery to a 'most admirable' person.

Breouion renders Latin breve, a summary list or register. The verb ekomplеusa is a Latin loan (complere, 'to complete'), and its meaning here is uncertain.
