Source
The papyrus P.Oxy. 67 4622 is located at Oxford, Sackler Library, Papyrology Rooms, 23 3B.13/M(2–4)a. The document is dated on palaeographical grounds.Discussion
Although written on a different day, this text is very similar to E02130, E02310, E02311, and E02312, which were written by the same scribe and addressed to the same wine-merchant, all ordering wines for charitable distribution to the widows of individual churches.It is unclear which John, the Baptist or Evangelist, was venerated at this shrine.
