Letter from N[…]nas to his sister Thaisarion about family land sales TM 27102Alexandria, province of EgyptIInd century A.D.

[recto] N[…]nas to Thaisarion, very many greetings. Before all else I pray that you are well, and I make your obeisance every hour before the lord Sarapis. I want you to know, sister, that I did not write a letter to Kopros, for I told her everything by word of mouth. When she went up, the matter had not yet come to an end, but now I give thanks to the lord Sarapis, everything has turned out well. But the letters have not yet come out; I am waiting for them. Know that our brother Ptolemaios has sold all his property, the share falling to him of the 8 arouras near the village of Sebennytos, to Philoxas the cavalryman, and at the place Pammebis and at the place Pene and at the place Tbynis and at the place of Kollauthes and at the place Psens and at the place Pilipite, and the share falling to him of the palm grove at the place Okes; all these have been sold to Heras your son. And even now, if I had not been in Alexandria, he would have sold all your property and mine and our mother's. I thank Ptolemaios, the husband of the daughter of Heuremon; through him everything has come about. He treated me like a brother. If Sarapis permits and I receive the letters, I will come to you. I have also told Kopros all this by word of mouth so that she may tell you. If you know that the village scribe has put me down for a public service, let me know to what sort of service he has put me. And if anyone has wronged you, let me know his name by letter. Greet my brother Ptolemaios warmly, and Diodora and Longinus and […] and Gemella and my mother warmly. I pray for your health. [verso] To Thaisarion, at Xis (?), from N[…]nas her brother.
