Description

Delivery of 50 sacks (of wheat) is credited to the account of an unnamed village. The work of transporting this amount was spread over a period of almost exactly 6 1/2 months, from Mesore to Mecheir 15, i.e. July 25 - Feb. 9. If the ostracon records the total contribution of the village, it was a very small locality indeed. It is more likely that this short text is a summary memorandum of deliveries made by a single landholder also unamed. Cf. O.Mich. 9926, which covers deliveries made by Doulos, son of Aionis, over a period of more than three months.
