Money Account via HGV-meta
Money account of payments for goods and river freight. A money account, perhaps kept by a commercial agent travelling on the Nile, reckoning 1,000 copper drachmas paid to Theogenes in Alexandria against payments made at Kanopos, Alexandria, and for freight from Krokodilopolis via Ptolemais to Kerke, leaving a balance of about 298 drachmas. It also notes wax and wool received, and dates to 248-247 BC, probably from 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.
