Description

CPR VII 56: Letter from Ammonianos to Alexandros 
The top and left border of the papyrus (12,5 x 10,5 cm) are intact; the bottom half of the letter is difficult to read, due to ink rubbed off on the left side, and the missing bottom right corner. The verso is blank. In the legible first part of the letter addressed to κυρίῳ μου ἀδ̣ε̣λ̣φ̣ῷ, Ammonianos writes to Alexandros regarding the payment of two taxes, of which he himself has paid the first.
