Cash account in talents and nummi TM 24341Kysis (Oasis Magna)

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 Kysis in the Great Oasis with a cash account in talents and nummi, listing sums received and spent, including payments for ropes and meat and amounts linked to named individuals such as Sansnos, Psentesauis and Sarapion.

In English machine translation

To Sansnos: through the proairetai(?), 400 talents, 16 nummi from the capital, 1,000 talents […] Total 1,400 talents, 16 nummi I bought (?) 300 talents likewise I sold (?) 100 talents, 9 nummi likewise 1,900 talents likewise Thlasm(…), 5,000 ropes, 1,000 talents likewise for meat, 5 pounds, 750 talents Psentesauis, 900 talents Sarapion […], 1,050 talents Total 5,000 talents

The verbs written enpolesa and ekpolesa appear to be misspellings of forms meaning 'I bought' and 'I sold', so these renderings are uncertain. The very large sums in talents point to the inflated currency of the 4th century AD.

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