Description	P. Col. 11 300; P. Col. Teeter (Diss.) 8: Letter Remnants of a strongly damaged letter (9 x 16 cm) written in faded ink. The top 9 lines of the verso are relatively complete, the more legible side of the fragment. The recto shows the remains of 21 lines. Ink marks on the right on the verso indicate a possible second column. Both sides are written across the fibers, perpendicular to one another. The ed.pr. considers the possibility that the contents of the recto and verso are not connected to one another, but deems it unlikely. The recto contains the greeting Κύρι[…] μου ἀδελφ[…], and a prayer for the addressee’s health. The verso reports what the writer has sent the addressee via an Eutuchia, including a μαφόρτιον (verso, line 3–4). There are three exchanges of sigma for delta on the verso (σιά, κνίσιον, οὐσὲ). Uncontracted nomen sacrum: Θεῷ (line 10)
