Fragmentary private letter on a potsherd from Didymoi, a Roman fort in the Eastern Desert. It opens with greetings from Tiatitis to a brother, but only scattered words survive.
Tiatitis appears to be an Egyptian personal name. The word read as Aptosan on the concave side is of uncertain meaning, perhaps part of a name.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Letters not Attached to a Group). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
