The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

An ostracon from Narmuthis recording a drawing of lots (kleros) connected with the 'box' (kiste) of Arsinoos, followed by a list of the men involved. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

Allotment of the box (?) of Arsinoos: through Kennis and Tryphon son of Tryphon and Serapion son of Horion and Ases; Serapion son of Serapion, Paueites, Plousianos and Marion and Ammonios […] Tryphon son of Neilos […] Serapion […] Theodoros, Serapion son of Ptolemaios, Neilos, Ammonios, Gelasios, Hermon.

The word kiste ('box, chest') is uncertain in sense here; it may refer to a lot-box, a revenue chest or a named plot, and kleros can mean either 'lot' or 'allotment'.
