Fragmentary private letter on an ostracon from the Roman fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert. The writer tells the recipient to collect from Titus the donkey-driver an artaba of wheat, a bed and a reed mat, and closes with greetings, dated Phamenoth 20.
The beginning is lost; 'lektike' may mean a litter or a bedding item. The psiathos is a reed or rush mat.
