| Description | PSI XIV 1423: Business letter Sheet of papyrus preserving most of a letter sent by Eulogios to his father Sakaon, wishing him good and praying for him by "Lord God". He informs him that he has bought some objects – of which he notes the price with meticulous precision – and sent them to him by boat, instructing him to give them to Eulogios to be sold (?). The hand is a large and irregular cursive running along the fibres; spelling and syntax difficult. Verso: address, written along the fibres. |
