Description	PSI 7 830: Letter from Antoninos This top half of a sheet (14.5 x 17 cm) contains the first part of a letter addressed to τῷ ἀγ[απ]ητῷ ἀδελφῷ (line 1), whose name is not present since part of the top right corner is missing. Antonios asks the recipient to send him documents of a sale, and mentions the amount of 5000 talents. He appears to have monetary troubles and points out the upcoming visit by the βικάριος (line 14), possibly to collect debts. Here the papyrus breaks off.
