Accounts of money and of loads (of hay?) for Hestiaios and Diogenes TM 118642Herakleopolites

The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 3 records across 3 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

An account on the back of a papyrus bearing a zodiac drawing. The first column lists money sums in drachmas; the second records loads (probably of hay) credited to Hestiaios, Diogenes and Maeistes over days of the month Epeiph in year 17. It comes from the Herakleopolite nome.

In English machine translation

[column i] […] account […] 575 drachmas […] […] 258 drachmas […] 208 drachmas […] 30 drachmas […] 32 […] … […] 70 […] … […] Onnophris [column ii] Year 17, Epeiph 4, account of […] of Maeistes, loads (?) 20 of Dioge(nes), loads 11 17, of Hestiaios, loads 11 18, likewise, loads 13 19, likewise, loads 4… 20, likewise, loads 15 21, likewise, loads 20 27, likewise, loads 4 28, likewise, loads 9 Total for Hestiaios, loads 77 29, Dioge(nes), loads 9 32 (?), likewise, loads 25 Total for Dioge(nes), loads 45 Grand total, loads 142.

The abbreviation 'kom' is taken by the museum as loads of hay; its exact meaning is uncertain. The day '32' is impossible for an Egyptian month and may be a misreading or scribal slip; the column totals do not exactly match the entries as read.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Der Berliner Tierkreis - ein Horoskop in graphischer Gestalt?). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
