Description

The letter is definitely Christian (cf. lines 3 and 27; also 34-35). The role of Didymos and the people of Apis (line 12) is obscure. Neither is it clear what to make of the two mattresses in line 16. There may be a connection with "upaithrios" in l. 15. The document on the other side is dated to A.D. 303, but our letter on the verso is of a later date.
