HGV 31348 Translation (English) [xml]

(Translation: from P.Oxy. 1) From ......s Gaianus. Greeting, my good brother Agenor! I received at once about the day of the Saturnalia what you dispatched to me. I should have sent to you myself more quickly if I had had more soldiers with me; but... went back and we cannot catch a single animal. I send for your use.... I pray, my dear brother, for your lasting health and prosperity.
