Description	P. Col. 11 301; P. Col. Teeter (Diss.) 9: Letter of acknowledgement This damaged sheet (9 x 12 cm) is missing part of the opening, before proceeding with 13 lines of text. The letter is written by the bishop (ἐπίσκ[οπος]) Psenamounios, and contains the greeting ἐν κ(υρί)ω Θ(ε)ῷ χαίρει[ν] and the ending ὁ [Θεὸ]ς (or [Κύριο]ς, see Mirecki 2001) καὶ ὁ Χρ(ιστὸ)ς αὐτ[οῦ φυλάξειαν]. The sheet is broken off at the bottom, so the length of a continuation is unclear; if the letter did not go far beyond line 14, the ed.pr. would term the correspondence a mere collection of «formulas and clichés». Nomina sacra: κω, θω, χρς
Selection criteria	Mention of Christian cult officials/institutions, Christian terms/formulas/concepts, Nomina sacra
Date from	300
