Λουκία Κασυλλᾶτι τῷ ἀδελφῷ
πλεῖστα χαίρειν.
γράφεις μοι ὅτι καταχώρισον τὰ
βιβλία Πάιτος. πῶς δύναμαι
ὅπερ σὺ αὐτὰ ἔχεις. πέμψον οὖν
μοι αὐτά. Ἀσκληπιάδης παρεγένετο
καὶ ἱκανὸν ἐδώκαμεν ἐπὶ τὸν ἡγεμόνα.
πέμψον μοι οὖν ἀναγκαίως[…]ου
τὸ διαστολικὸν. ἰδοὺ σὺ οὐκ ἠθέλησας αὐτὸ ἐκπλέξαι. εἰς μεγάλα πράγματα ἀπήλθαμεν. εὐθέως οὖν
πέμψον μοι τὰ χαρτάρια· αὐτὸς γὰρ
τὰ ἑαυτοῦ ἔχει. ἀλλʼ ὅρα μὴ ἀμελήσῃς.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.

[recto]
Loukia to Kasyllas her brother, very many greetings.
You write to me, 'Register the documents of Pais.' How can I, since you have them? So send them to me. Asklepiades arrived and we gave security before the prefect. So send me without fail […] the authorization (diastolikon). Look, you did not want to settle it. We have got into great trouble. So send me the papers at once; for he himself has his own. But see that you do not neglect this.
I pray for your health.
[verso]
Deliver to Kasyllas from Loukia his sister.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 31973 (see that record)
