P.Oxy. 16 1843

43.3 x 18.5

CG10867

Letter concerning tax-payments

(6th or 7th century)

The address on the verso being obliterated, the names of both sender and recipient of this letter are uncertain, but the mention of chartularius George, and of large payments both for Oxyrhynchus and Cynopolis, may connect it with the series that folllows (P.Oxy. XVI 1844 to 1861); but the name George is a common one, and the hand is certainly not that of Victor, nor do the traces on the verso suggest any of the names which occur in the Victor series.
