Description
The diptych contains a series of accounts which for the most port deal with a series of harvest operation-reaping an threshing-carried out between Pauni 2 and Epeiph 30. In addition there three short entries, the relation of which to the foregoing is not clear. This was probably a day-book of an overseer, who kept thereon a detailed record of the daily work performed by the various laborers employed on the estates under his supervision. This record he would use as a memorandum for the calculation of the wages to be paid these workmen, and also for the compilation of a report of expenditures to be presented to his employer, the owner or lessee of the estates, cf. e. g. P. Lond. III1170 verso.
