Daily account of workmen's wages TM 2014Philadelphia (Arsinoites)IIIrd century B.C.

A fragmentary day-by-day account of wages paid to workmen employed under Eutychos on an unknown job, recording payments in obols and chalkoi for days 25 to 27 of a month. It comes from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the mid-3rd century BC.

In English machine translation

The numbers 25, 26 and 27 at the start of entries appear to be days of the month; the rate seems to be about one obol per workman per day. Chalkoi were small bronze coins, fractions of an obol.
