Description (Abstract)

Publius to A - - - os his son many greetings and in everything good health, with your horse whom the evil eye does not touch. I send to you Quintus the veterinarian the andromax and the boiled wood-bird, since there is no meat for sale. If you have need of copper, you will write to me and I will send it to you with whatever safe man I may find. I pray for your health with your horse who is safe from the evil eye.
