Frais de transport de l’ ἀγοραστὸς σῖτος via HGV-meta

Instructions to Hedylos on transport charges for purchased grain. Two copies of official instructions to Hedylos, dated Mesore 9 and 30 of year 9, about the transport costs of grain bought by the state (agorastos sitos) from cavalry settlers. The first orders a deduction of 3 drachmas 2 obols per 100 artabas for carriage to the harbours; the second cancels the deduction for grain measured from Mesore 23, when the sitologos is to bear the cost. machine translation

9 To Hedylos. […] after writing […] to the place […] to the cavalrymen […] the purchased grain, to deduct for each one for the transport charge to the harbours, since the dioiketes writes that the purchased grain must be delivered to the harbours, what was decided before the strategos […] the antigrapheus and the sitologos himself, for the 100 artabas reckoned as wheat, 3 drachmas 2 obols of bronze; and let this be entered in the account, […] so that from this the purchased grain may be delivered to the harbours, as the dioiketes writes. Year 9, Mesore 9. 30 To Hedylos. After I wrote to you to deduct for those receiving the price of the purchased grain, for the transport charge, 3 drachmas 2 obols of bronze per 100 artabas reckoned as wheat, it was decided before the strategos and the officers that, for the grain measured from the 23rd of Mesore, the sitologos should also bring in the transport charge incurred. Therefore, for the receipts written to you of those who have measured out grain from the 23rd of Mesore, let nothing be deducted for the transport charge. Year 9, Mesore 30.

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.
