Fragmentary letter on an ostracon from Antonius Nepotianus, curator of a fort, to Iulius Ammonianus, curator of Mons Claudianus, apparently reporting that he broke a seal on something. It dates to the second half of the 2nd century AD and was found at Mons Claudianus in Egypt's Eastern Desert.

A curator was the officer in charge of a desert fort (praesidium) or station; the name of Nepotianus's fort is lost. The verb 'I broke (loosed)' with the seal suggests he opened a sealed consignment or letter.
