One of the only papyri found during T. Górecki’s excavations in the hermitage MMA 1152 (western Thebes), the letter published here is a good example of the difficulty of getting papyrus in the area at that time (7th-8th cent. A.D.). The edition of the text is followed by an appendix on the terminology of papyrus sheets and rolls (especially ⲥⲕⲉⲧⲁⲗⲏ / σχεδάριον) as well as some remarks on prices.
