This study investigates a particular pattern of communication employed for the exchange of information between the offices of Ptolemaic Egypt: the cascade-letters. This definition refers to the mechanism of appending copies of letters by reproducing them in the same sheet of papyrus often in chronological order. This template which relates to certain stylistic textual visual and material features is frequently introduced and marked by the formula ni Gamma phi ni pi a copy is subjoined below of which there are many parallels.The attempt to retrace the intentions for the adoption of the model and the stages of its evolution from the third to the second century B.C. constitute the core of a diplomatic-administrative research on official epistolography. The philological and historical analysis of the texts contributes to the interpretation of the documents characterized by a multi-layered transmission of notifications. Far from being a mechanical reproductionof the texts that were to be multiplied this scribal practice responded to basic needs of the Ptolemaic administration which included the aspect of control of various collaborating sectors and that of the authentication of the forwarded communication.
