Fragment of a letter from Dioskoros to Ammonianos TM 29657Mons ClaudianusMitte II

Fragment of a private letter, probably from Dioskoros, to Ammonianos, perhaps a curator, and another honoured person. The writer sends greetings and daily prayers for them, mentions letters received, and closes with wishes for their well-being. It comes from the quarry settlement of Mons Claudianus in the mid-2nd century AD.
