εἰσαγωγέως

Translation

"To him, they placed in your presence all that pertains to you; this I have arranged until I say that I will not have been precluded in the books of yours until the overseer of this friend of yours has been completed. I, Isidorus, the introducer of your friend, greet you, the gymnasiarch. I wish you well, my lord."

Notes

The text is fragmentary and incomplete, making a fully coherent translation difficult. The document appears to be a personal letter or official communication mentioning books, someone's presence, and possibly a warning or instruction ("I will strike all things belonging to you"). It references an individual named Isidoros, described as an "introducer" (εἰσαγωγεύς), and another individual associated with a gymnasium (gymnasiarch). The closing formula "ἐρρῶσθαι εὔχομαι κύριέ μου" ("I pray for your good health, my lord") is a common polite ending in Greek letters.
