## Greek text

ἀσπάζομαι τὸν οἶκον Ταουΐας, ἣν εὔχομαι ἑδρᾶσθαι πίστει καὶ ἀγάπῃ σαρκικῇ τε καὶ πνευματικῇ. ἀσπάζομαι Ἄλκην, τὸ ποθητόν μοι ὄνομα, καὶ Δάφνον τὸν ἀσύγκριτον καὶ Εὔτεκνον καὶ πάντας κατʼ ὄνομα. ἔρρωσθε ἐν χάριτι θεοῦ.

## English translation (Claude)

I greet the household of Tavia, whom I pray may be established in faith and love, both of flesh and of spirit. I greet Alce, a name dear to me, and the incomparable Daphnus and Eutecnus and everyone by name. Farewell in the grace of God.
