Memorandum about money via HGV-meta
Memorandum of bank deposits and payments to the treasury. A memorandum of a bank account, apparently Zenon's, listing sums deposited to his credit (2,000 drachmas silver, 1,000 copper and 504 paid in at Philadelphia) and payments made through the bank to the royal treasury, several on behalf of others such as a brewer, the salt tax of Nikeratos and beer for the guards at Philadelphia. It ends with running totals and the balance; probably about 250 BC, from the Arsinoite nome. machine translation

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
