Estimate of freight charges via APIS-papyrus
Estimate of freight and transport charges for 100 artabas. A calculation of the costs of shipping 100 artabas of grain (or another commodity) by boat, including freight, inspection at Memphis, tolls, clerk's and labour fees, temple dues and a handler's fee, totalled and broken down per artaba. It was addressed on the back to a man named Phormion and probably belongs to the Zenon archive from Philadelphia, mid-3rd century BC. 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.
