Take a few minutes and read Adolf Deissmann's "Light From the Ancient East",
p. 88ff (sec. 15)., he discusses it and has plenty of bibliography.
BGU 103 is a 6th or 7th c. christian papyrus letter.
Interestingly, the Midrash on Esther 1:22 says "If a man wants to eat
lentils and his wife wants to eat beans, can he force her? Surely she does
as she likes. Rabbi Phineas said, No, and if he does, he makes himself a
laughing stock".
Best,
Jim
