1. Content : Document, letter type 3?
2. Note : Fragment. Recto, 4 lines. Verso, 3 lines. Lower left portion of probably a letter. Its upper part has been cut off and the right edge torn off. Writing on both sides is apparently by the same hand; verso is a continuation from recto. Both the names of sender and addressee are missing. drug (r3) may be a variant for Dru-gu "Türk," used as a place name here.
