It contains a letter addressed by Apa John to a man named Paul. While the body of the letter is in Greek, Apa John's signature, in the last five lines, is in Coptic. Long-winded apologies and salutations occupy a great part of the letter, the chief point of which is a request for money on behalf of a certain Makarios.\r\nThe letter is written in a thick cursive hand \u2013 the last line before final greetings in Coptic uncials being written in a different hand. Careful layout with indentations in address and final greetings.\r\nThe anchorite of this archive was identified by Zuckerman 1995 with the famous John of Lycopolis known by literary sources. According to Fournet 2020: 53, the final salutation serving here as a signature in Coptic indicates that Apa John dictated the message,\u00a0 and \u201csigned\u201d in the only language he knew, Coptic (see also Zuckerman 1995: 189-190 and Chrest. Wilck. 53, intro.). But like the first editors (P.Amh. II 145, intro), Van Minnen (1994: 84) maintains that the Greek text is written by the same hand as the Coptic subscription, and Choat assumes that one cannot exclude that \"the Johannes who sent P. Amh. II 145 was fully conversant in writing and speaking both languages\" (2017: 66-68).\r\nThe verso must be blank.",
