Description

P.Bingen 141: Delivery order.
Order addressed by Dorotheos to his "lord brother" Psaios, wine-seller, instructing him to deliver wine to someone whose name is lost. Ed.pr. saw three crosses: one preceding the first word and two others after the name of the sender. Those two crosses have been corrected by Harrauer 2001 and replaced with an abbreviation of χαίρειν.

From the Herakleolites nome according to ed. pr.

The script runs across the fibres (transversa charta). Verso is blank.
