Description	SB 14 11437: Letter from Martyrios to his daughter Susanna This long sheet is relatively intact (31.8 x 8.8 cm) and had presumably been folded. Martyrios writes that his wife, recipient Susanna’s mother, has fallen ill, which is why neither of the parents has been able to visit their daughter. As a previous letter to Susanna had stated, he asks her and her husband (Antonios?) to visit him at once, due to the mother’s sickness. The names may indicate a Christian milieu. The verso contains the address.
