Title Letter of Pathermouthis
Summary The subjects of this letter are a registration, evidently for the census, and a payment of the poll-tax, both of which the writer wished his sister to undertake for him. He was uncertain whether she would be allowed to register him in his absence, and he asks her, in case this should not be possible, to let him know, in order that he might come and do it for himself.

HGV 31723 Translation (English) [xml]

(Translation: from P.Oxy. 8) To my sister, mistress Dionysia, from Pathermouthis, greeting. As you sent me word on account of the registration about registering yourselves, since I cannot come, see whether you can register us. Do not then neglect to register us, me and Patas; but if you learn that you cannot register us, reply to me and I will come. Find out also about the collection of the poll-tax, and if they are [hurrying on with] the collection of the poll-tax, pay it and I will send you the money; and if you pay the poll-tax, get the receipt. Do not neglect this, my sister, and write to me about the registration, whether you have done it or not, and reply to me and I will come and register myself. I pray for your lasting health, (Addressed) Deliver to Dionysia from Pathermouthis.
