Letter from Horion to his father Kolluthos TM 32705OxyrhynchitesIV

Fragmentary private letter from Horion to his father Kolluthos, opening with prayers for his health before 'the lord God'. The surviving remainder mentions a consular date in Pharmouthi, a payment, and repeated references to a village, including Seryphis. It comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome and dates to the 4th century AD.

In English machine translation

The phrase 'before the lord God' suggests a Christian writer. The repeated 'from the village' entries may be writing exercises or notes added to the sheet rather than part of the letter itself.
