Description	P. Fouad 80: Letter from the doctor Eudaimon to his family Eudaimon writes a letter (32 x 15.5 cm) to his mother and brothers, who have endured an unclear hardship, which Eudaimon himself has experienced as well, probably of judicial nature. Individuals mentioned are Eudaimon τοῦ μικροῦ, whom the ed.pr. assumes to be a lawyer, and Stethetos, a priestess in Tripheion. While the top, left and right border are preserved for the top half of the sheet, after line 20 the papyrus (Fragment a) is fragmented and missing a significant portion of text, save for a vertical strip and the bottom right corner (Fragment b). The sheet contains 56 lines horizontally, and some lines along the left border. 6 further fragments (c-h) have been assigned to the papyrus but not placed. Formulation τοῦ ἐλεεῖσθαι ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ (line 11).
