That’s pretty much how ancient texts survived. People would write to each other at the time, asking “hey, do you know that guy who has a copy of Epictetus’s Enchiridion? Could you have him send it to me, I’ll make a copy and send his back”. There are many ancient works that we know existed in this way because we have the letters asking for them, but the actual text of the work didn’t survive.
