| Description | P.Prag. II 191: Letter Small sheet of reused papyrus preserving on the verso a letter sent by Kalemeros to his "lady mother". He informs her about the sending of 20 bunches of grapes through the intermediary of a certain Paniskos, expresses his filial affection to her and greets his "daughter in Christ". The handwriting is a cursive running across the fibres, using contracted nomina sacra (standard in ἐν κ(υρί)ῳ, but less standard when addressing her as κ(υρία) in the final greetings). Indentations on l. 2 (name of Kalemeros) and l. 11 (greetings). Verso: illegible traces of erased writing running along the fibres. |
