Summary of Content | Gaddul reports his blessings to Yaho and Khnum for Micaiah. Requests Micaiah's garment for repair. |
Multilingualism | Script = Language Monolingual |
Gender | Man |
Comment on Gender | Because Gaddul, a Judean/Aramean, appears to worship both Yaho and Khnum, this text is often used to argue for Judean-Egyptian religious syncretism on Elephantine. The implication is that this is a copy or draft of Gaddul's own letter since it was found on the island. The locaton of this Micaiah is unknown. |
