TM Arch id: 14
Protagonist: Most letters are addressed to the anchorite or apotaktikos Apa Iohannes, who is asked to intercede with both divine and human powers in matters of everyday concern. He was apparently a local saint and leader of a monastic community. One letter (P. Amh. 2 145) is apparently written by Apa Iohannes. Zuckermann identifies the anchorite with the famous Iohannes of Lykopolis. (Go to TM People)
