| Description | P.Iand II 12: Business letter on parchment. Fragment of a sheet of parchment damaged on the lower right part, the bottom is lost (dim. H. 9 x W. 11.5 cm). It contains the beginning of a letter addressed by Soeris to Aphys concerning some pots. Uncial handwriting. Nothing here is suggestive of Christianity except for, perhaps, the writing medium since parchment is extremely rarely used for letters but it is the standard material for the production of Christian codices and might suggest here some kind of involvement. See Sarri 2018: 86. |
