Account of grain receipts and shipments
Description
The papyrus is complete, but the left half is badly worm-eaten. The hand is a characteristic smooth, upright cursive of the period.The text, in two columns, is apparently a record of deliveries to and from the granary, credited to the Ptolemais sector of Karanis for an eighth indiction. Column I lists grain received from individuals on Epeiph 11th. Column II is a list of donkey-loads of grain dispatched from the granary on Epeiph 11th and 14th for delivery to a river port (cf. in trod. to 5-11 a). One donkey carried one sack containing three artabs. On the evidence for identifying the eighth indiction here as that of 319/20 A.D., see the introd. to 12. The context suggests, further, that the Antiouri(o)s of Column II and 12, 44 is to be identified with the sitologos of Ptolemais who in 318 A.D. issued the receipt in PCair Isid 59.
