Resumen de A Late Antique Private Letter Mentioning Textiles and a Halter
This hitherto unpublished small-sized papyrus preserves a fragment of a late antique private letter falling into the large category of request letters. Its author asks the recipient to send him several objects. The text mentions the very rarely attested word f??ße?? (halter) as well as an ??????? and a fa?????(?)?. Judging by the fact that the papyrus was incorporated in the collection of Vienna in 1886, we can consider the Hermopolite nome as the place of its provenance. The handwriting points to the late sixth or maybe the early seventh century.
