p.col.4.94 Mitte III v.Chr.Philadelphia? (Arsinoites)

Account of Expenses for Farm Work via HGV-meta

Account of expenses for farm work, entertainers and food. An account of small payments, mostly wages to workers such as cutters and weeders, but also to a dancer, a piper and a tax-collector, and purchases of a jar, vegetables, bread, figs and nuts. A second column lists names and the back preserves further sums. It dates to the mid-3rd century BC, probably from Philadelphia in 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.
