Description	P. Wisc. 2 76: Letter to Taarpaesis and Tausiris This papyrus (24.7 x 6.5 cm), strongly fragmented on both sides, had two vertical folds, one horizontal. The recipients are addressed as ἄδελφαι / ἀδελφαί and greeted ἐν θεῷ [πλεῖστα] χα[ῖ]ρειν (line 3-4); [ἐ]ν θεῷ occurs again on line 27 when greeting the children, directly after invoking ἀβάσκαντος (protection from the “evil eye”, line 26). There is further the possible supplement [τῷ κυ(ρίῳ) θεῷ] in line 34–35. The recto of the sheet contains P. Wisc. 2 61 (303 CE), and the present verso should be assigned to a later date. A Didymos and the people of Apis are named in line 12, the context of which is unclear.
