Κάσις Τιβερίῳ
τῷ ἀδελφῷ πολλὰ
χαίρειν καὶ τὸ προσκύνημά σου ποιῶ καθ’ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν παρὰ τῇ κυρίᾳ
Ἀφροδίτῃ. ἐὰν ἀκούσῃς
καινότερον περὶ τοῦ κλήρου
ἵνα καὶ ἐμοὶ δηλώσῃς. καλῶς ποιήσεις, ἐὰν μέλλῃ ἀναβῆναι Λούκις ὁ συστρατιώτης ἐκ τοῦ πραισιδίου μου
ἤ τε μετὰ ὄνων ἤ τε μετὰ προβολῆς, ἵνα δοῖς αὐτῷ τὰς δραχμὰς κϛ τοῦ κιθῶνος ἵνα ἐνέγκῃ μοι
[…] τὰ νῦν μὴ ἀμελήσῃς τοῦ πέμψαι μοι.
[…]…Translations (1)
Kasis to Tiberius his brother, many greetings.
And I make obeisance for you every day before the lady Aphrodite. If you hear anything new about the allotment (?), make it known to me too. You will do well, if Lucius my fellow soldier from my praesidium is about to come up, either with the donkeys or with the escort (?), to give him the 26 drachmas for the tunic so that he may bring it to me […] now do not neglect to send to me.
[…]

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.
