Letter from Dioskoros to Ammonianos and Sourous TM 29653Mons ClaudianusMitte II

A fragmentary private letter from Dioskoros to Ammonianos and Sourous, found at the Roman quarry site of Mons Claudianus in Egypt's Eastern Desert and dated to the mid-2nd century AD. He promises to do everything possible and to send something, perhaps cabbage stalks, if they become available, and sends greetings to the children.

In English machine translation

The reading of 'cabbage stalks' (kaulia) is a restoration; vegetables are a frequent subject of the Mons Claudianus letters. The right side of each line is lost.
