| Description | P.Mich.Copt. 5 Letter from Daniel, son of Phoibammon, to 'his brother' Bane, son of Theodosios in Coptic (S) with only address on verso, greeting him and 'his brother' Apollo, and the little Phoibammon, as well as others unnmamed, rejoicing that they have escaped imprisonment, and hoping to see them or hear from them. Some of the names reappear in P.Mich.Copt. 6.. Ed. princ. surmised a Melitian context, probably due to the mention of imprisonment of the addressed group (see also Choat 2001: 98 and n. 36). Christian cryptogram ΧΜΓ and staurogram at the top of the letter. |
