Abstract
The authorship of the Zenon Archive text P.Cair.Zen. 3.59308 has been a puzzle for scholars ever since its discovery almost a century ago. The papyrus is almost certainly a draft of a letter. It most likely originated from the eponymous Zenon himself, but the greeting formula has a confusing cast, at first sight apparently lacking the name of the author and presenting Zenon as a recipient. A supralinear addition to the same effect further complicates interpretation. This paper aims to resolve the problem through a reassessment of textual and contextual factors.
