| Summary of Content |
Seems to be a letter, might be official or private. Addressed to a Victor deacon, by a Paulos (?) who probably also had a title, which cannot be interpreted or read properly. Ostracon (document) is mentioned in the text referring to the present letter itself, and sy agrees (ⲡⲱⲗϭ) which is a typical verb for Abstandsklauseln in documents. |
