Summary | The damage to the papyrus and the resulting damage to the text prevents a certain conclusion regarding the content of this text. From line 2 (salutem) It is clear that the text had the form of a letter, but other words make it clear that this was hardly a private letter. This text may therefore be an official letter, which may be concerned with legionnary veterans (lines 4 and 9). In that case, this text can only be a copy emanating from a perhaps military office of significant rank. |
