The Donkey of Karas

Love this snippet of human drama from nearly two thousand years ago. I hunger to know more. I am imagining a weekend of beer and bad judgment in the Egyptian Faiyum, but who knows.

"I swear by all the gods that I have done nothing of what has been said, except only about the donkey of Karas... And if you are angry because I did not send anything... the reason is that I was kicked by a horse..." (SB XVIII 13867, 125-175 CE). pic.twitter.com/G2hkfeJ87x
