Μάξιμος Τιναρσιεγέτι τῇ ἀδελφῇ πλεῖστα
χαίρειν καὶ διὰ παντὸς ὑγιαίνειν·
ἐὰν ἔλθῃς εἰς τὰς ἡμέρας σου τοῦ τεκεῖν, γράψον μοι
ἵνα εἰσέλθω καὶ τὴν λοχίαν σου ποιήσω, ἐπεὶ οὐκ οἶδά σου τὸν μῆνα. χάριν τούτου προέγραψά σοι, ἵνα
καὶ σὺ προλάβῃς καὶ γράψῃς μοι ἵνα εἰσέλθω ἐν
τῷ πλοίῳ τῶν κιβαρίων ἵνα καὶ ἐγὼ μείνω ἐχόνομά
σου καὶ τὴν λοχίαν σου ποιήσω. σοὶ γὰρ προσέχω ὅτι
ἐχόνομά σου μενῶ τεκεῖν. ἐὰν μὴ πέμψῃς ἐπʼ ἐμὲ οὐ χάριτάν μοι ποιεῖς. ἔμελλόν σοι πέμψαι
ἀγγεῖα εἰς τὴν λοχίαν σου· χάριν τούτου οὐκ ἀπέστειλα
ἵνα εἰσερχόμενος ἐνέγκω καὶ δύο μάτια θερμίων.
ὁ φέρων σοι τὸ ὄστρακον συστρέφει …[…] πρὸς ἐμέ. διὰ αὐτοῦ
μὴ ἀμελήσῃς γράψαι περὶ τῆς κατʼ οἰκίας ἀπογραφῆς. ἐφώνησάν σου τὸ ὄνομα καὶ οὐ
προσεφώνησαν. ἔγραψα οὖν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου ἄνω
ἵνα καὶ τὸ ὄνομά σου προσδῷ σινεσωειστην.
ἀσπαζόμεθά σε καὶ Καλλέαν καὶ τοὺς
ἐν οἴκῳ πάντας κατʼ ὄνομα. πέμψον μοι
φύλλα ὡς εἰς σφυρίδιον καὶ ποιήσω σοι
αὐτὸ ἐπὶ ου[…]ιωδω.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.Translations (1)
Maximos to Tinarsieges (her?) sister, many greetings and good health always. If you are coming to your days of giving birth, write to me so that I may come and perform your delivery, since I do not know your month. I wrote to you in advance for this reason, so that you might also act in advance and write to me so that I would come in the provisions boat, so that I too may remain with you and perform your delivery. For I advise you that I am intended to give birth at your house. If you don’t send word to me, you do me no favour. I was going to send you jars for your delivery. I didn’t send them for this reason, so that I might bring them when I come, along with two matia of lupines. The man who is bringing you the ostracon is returning to me. Do not neglect to write by way of him about the house-by-house census. They called your name and they did not call it again (?). I wrote to your brother upriver so that they might also submit your name inside in the [?]. I greet you and Kalleas and all those in the house by name. Send me leaves as for a small basket and I will make it for you … I pray for your health.
