Small Fragments: Accounts Written with the Fibers
Fragment from an account: likely to be an account of assignments of rolls of papyrus to different people
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 →
A small fragment of an account listing people (among them a secretary, Artemidoros, and sons of Demetrios and Telestes), each with a small number, usually 2. It probably records rolls of papyrus handed out to different people, from mid-3rd century BC Philadelphia (?) in the Arsinoite nome.
The interpretation as an assignment of papyrus rolls comes from the object description; the text itself names no commodity. Names in the dative mark recipients, and the figures are likely counts of items.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Small Fragments: Accounts Written with the Fibers). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
