Description:
|
Letter from Hephaistion and Horigenes to Theophanes. Written to thank their father for his kindness in taking them with him on his travels as far as Alexandria. As a combination of a genuine private letter and as essay on filial piety it is unique amongst the papyri. Written in a firm, clear and probably professional hand.
