Abstract
P.Cair.Zen. IV 59538 (TM 1174), dated to 16 January of 257 BCE, is a fragmentary papyrus from the Zenon Archive that preserves the final part of a letter. Along with a significant part of its content, the identity of both its sender and addressee has been lost. However, a careful analysis of the material aspects of the letter reveals that its author and scribe can be identified with Amyntas (TM Per 769), the administrator of the Alexandrine household of Apollonios.
