| Summary of Content |
A letter to Patermoute (Patermouthis archive, Greek-Coptic) and his family concerning a dispute. The name of the sender is not preserved. From the text remains it can be read that a woman called Tsia is opposing someone or something. There are three women of this name recorded in the Patermouthis archive (cf. S.J. Clackson). The text also refers to the living-room (symposion) of Tlou, Kako`s grandmother, but it is not clear who is in possession of it. |
