Description

this letter contains an original of a directive emanating from the office of the prefect. In this letter the prefect asks someone, whom he adressess as 'brother' (l. 8) and to whom he extends the bureaucratic courtesy of reciprocity (l. 9), to investigate Isidoros' claim of being from the Memphite nome (ll. 4-5). Scapula further delegates to the recipient of this letter the task of informing Tryphon that he is no longer to trouble Isidoros and is to return the cheirographia which Tryphon's agents took, should Isidoros' claims prove valid (l. 4-7).
