Description
The content of this letter from Nilos to his brother Nemesion is somewhat unclear. First Nilos expresses his joy upon hearing that his brother had been released. The circumstances of this alone are unclear. Nilos also asks the brother to monitor a woman living in the house of a certain Kallinikos. It is not clear why he is supposed to; the text might imply that this action of Nemesion might free the woman from extortion; again the circumstances are very unclear. The verso contains the address.
