Königseid via HGV-meta
Royal oath concerning contractors in the district of Mouchis. A royal oath sworn at Krokodilopolis in the Arsinoite nome under Ptolemy VI Philometor and Cleopatra II, by persons connected with the district around Mouchis and its topogrammateus. The swearers apparently undertake to provide a qualified man and to deal with work involving contractors, but the details are largely lost. machine translation
