Letter to a brother concerning deliveries by donkey-drivers TM 145006Didymoi

Fragmentary private letter on an ostracon from the Roman fort of Didymoi in Egypt's Eastern Desert, addressed to a 'brother'. It mentions donkey-drivers of a contractor, a curator, and a man named Munatius as carrier, and asks for something to be sent quickly.

In English machine translation

The conductor (kondouktor) was a contractor responsible for supply transport to the desert forts, and the curator was the officer commanding a fort. The restoration of 'contractor' is partly conjectural.
