Terentianus to Tasoucharion his sister, very many greetings.
Before all else I pray that you are well together with all your household. Receive from the one delivering the letter to you a small basket; whatever you find in it, write back to me about it. And through Valerius the goldsmith I have sent you another. So please, when you have received it, write back to me both about your welfare and about whatever you need. For I too hope to come up to you quickly. Do everything to provide for us two jars of olyra, the largest, and an artaba of radish oil. I sent you the origanum that came along with the oil. And if you received from Ptolemaios what I wrote […] write to me […] the two artabas […] and he has […] so that […] coming up here. Our children greet you […] and […]

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.
