Farewell, my lady, and take care of yourself and of the children, whom I greet, and our people, Artemis and Tycharion and Ammonis and Didymos, the husband of Tycharion, and Sarapias and mother. Epeiph 10

"Sister" may denote a wife or a close relation rather than a sibling. Nasoura appears to be a place name; the letter is dated only by month and day, Epeiph 10.
