Two
fragments of which the larger contains the beginning of a letter, probably to
rather than from Cerialis. Although the two pieces probably belong to the same
text, it is not possible to establish a join.
The letters preceding Ceriali might be us. We have
considered reading F[l]a[ui]us Cerialis but F[l]a[ui]us is very
difficult and there is no trace of s following Ceriali. It is
noteworthy that there is no trace of suo or salutem below
this; cf. 212.1.
