A fragmentary private letter to a man named Eulogios, acknowledging receipt of his letter and a small item brought by the messenger of the house of Stratekios. The writer mentions sending something with jars to apa Victor and a slaughter planned for the feast of Saint Pamouthios. It dates to the 5th or 6th century AD.
