Fragment mentioning items sent and baskets TM 1698unbekanntMitte III v.Chr.

A small fragment of a Greek papyrus from the mid-3rd century BC, probably part of a letter or report. Only scattered words survive, mentioning registering something, a citadel or headland, things that had been sent, and baskets.

In English machine translation

[…] […] which (?) to me […] […] … go up (?) […] […] … having registered (?) […] […] at the citadel (?) and […] […] … the […] […] all things sent […] […] … baskets […] […] …[…] […] … […] […] … horn (?) […] […] … […] […] … […] […]

The word akra can mean a citadel, a height or a headland; the context is too broken to tell which. The text probably belongs to the Zenon archive, but this is not stated in the records.

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