Notes

The fragmentary nature of the papyrus makes a complete translation impossible. The text appears to be part of a personal greeting or letter, mentioning greetings ("ἀσπάζεταί σε" - "greets you") and instructions to greet others ("ἀσπάζου πάντ[ας]" - "greet everyone"). The reference "Βαβ[" could possibly indicate "Babylon" or a personal name beginning with "Bab-". The phrase "οὕτως οὖν με ἐχαρι[...]" suggests gratitude or appreciation ("thus, then, you have pleased me" or "shown kindness to me"). The rest of the text is too fragmentary to reconstruct with certainty.
