Account from Aischines to Zenon of the barley, of the 10 artabas. For two days the total is 2 1/2 artabas 4 choinikes, and the morning meal on the third day 1/2 artaba 6 choinikes, and for the mule 1 1/2 artabas, and 1/2 artaba when the grey horse stayed here, (which) Aristomachos went off with. The rest is with me, and from the third (day) I am spending it on the evening meal for the two horses. And of the wages I received for the grooms 6 drachmas: to Aristomachos 2 drachmas, to Haryotes 2 drachmas, and Dionysios 1 drachma 1 obol; total, the remainder 4 obols; of this Dorion, who looks after the foal, has it.

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.
