Private letter [not before 500]
Description
Letter from Egypt, written on papyrus. Written by papa Serene (Serenos) to his "brother" Pastammon. Serene takes up the point of Petre's (Petros') letter (P.Duk.inv. 839) and instructs Pastammon to appoint men to work on the land on the island(?) and to give them their monthly rations (wages). Pastammon should also give the letter carrier Ammone (Ammonios) 3 artabas (a measure) of onions and 1 artaba of lentils. Serene subscribes himself with just "Serene" surrounded by two crosses. Recto has a letter in Coptic (P.Duk.inv. 839)
