| Description | P.Stras. I 35: Business letter Damaged sheet of papyrus preserving a document that seems to be the report of an estate administrator to his master, perhaps the head of a monastic community. He used a scribe to write his report who uses expressions peculiar to the Egyptian language and has a very imperfect command of the Greek language. The scribe was probably a Copt. The date formula was written in a different hand. The report starts and ends with a cross; there is also a cross before the date formula on the last line of the recto; and on the other side, before the delivery address. Use of nomina sacra. Recto: written in a semi-uncial hand across the fibres (transversa charta); Verso: address. |
