Description

On this side of the papyrus there are preserved parts of two columns of a private letter: from the first column the endings of 13 lines, and from the second 16 lines, containing the end of the letter, of which 15 are complete. The letter seems to concern some family quarrel over return of a dowry or division of an inheritance.
