Fragmentary letter addressed to Flavius Abinnaeus, a military commander, expressing surprise about some matter involving the writer's brother, a demand for payment and solidi (gold coins). It dates to the mid-4th century AD and belongs to the Abinnaeus archive, probably from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.
Abinnaeus was commander of the cavalry unit at Dionysias; his papers form a well-known archive. The provenance Philadelphia is uncertain.
