Description

Taurinos writes to his "father" of his prosperity, evidenced by the great quantity of fruit and wine sent to the drying place, and invites him to come visit him. The drying place was used for drying fruit and fermenting wine. Verso b was written before verso a and has no apparent relation to it or to recto. It is probably the beginning of a long letter, to judge from the size of the characters, from which a small strip was torn for the reception of recto.
