Letter from Artemis to her husband Theodoros, with a rebuke to Sarapion TM 33767unbekanntIV

[recto] Artemis to Theodoros, my lord husband in God, greetings. Before all things I pray to the Lord God that we may receive you back in good health. I sent you letters and a mantle (maphorion) through Apon your fellow soldier. I pray for your health. Your children greet you, and Allous threatens you much, since, though you have written often and greeted everyone, you alone did not greet her. Allous greets you. Artemis to Sarapion also called Isidoros. He writes: 'Even if you are a soldier and carry yourself with arrogance, the prefect quickly humbles arrogance.' You write to us as if frightening us, saying that the prefect does not want home-wreckers. But if you wish to cherish the whoring of your daughters, do not question me, but the elders of the church, how the two ran off saying 'We want men,' and how Loukra was found with her adulterer, making herself a Gaditanian dancer (?), because of which they are jealous that we have attached them to Soucharos. And if it were a matter of naming lineage, these things too we are ready to show, who is the more nobly born. For we were not born of a slave woman. I write these things to you, Theodoros, because he does everything on account of property (?), and letters must be sent to inform him (?). [verso] Deliver to Theodoros, soldier, from his son.
