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 →

A short ostracon account listing food supplies and fodder: bread, birds, wine, hay, barley and vegetables, probably provisions for a visitor or official. It comes from Trimithis (Amheida) in the Great Oasis.

In English machine translation

30 loaves (of bread), 30 (?) tiphagia, 1 chicken, 2 young pigeons, 1 marion of wine, 10 bundles of fodder, 5 matia of barley, vegetables

The abbreviation tiph(agia) is uncertain in meaning, perhaps a kind of bread or foodstuff; the marion and the mation are local measures of capacity with no exact English equivalent.
