| Description | P.Brux. inv. E 7904: Letter about annona militaris Complete sheet of papyrus with a short letter sent by the priest Kyrillos and the scribe Kopres to their "beloved brother" Dalmatis, with greetings in Lord. They inform him, regarding the two arouras of Aas, that he has paid the fodder of the soldiers and conclude with greetings. Some details remain unclear because of the state of preservation of the document and its syntax but it is interesting since it alludes to military requisitions concerning fodder – rather than usual grain or wine –, probably for a cavalry unit. Cursive script running parallel with the fibres. Use of nomina sacra. Verso blank. |
