Note of payment for epitrepon
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 short ostracon receipt or payment note from Tebtynis recording a payment of 4 silver drachmas on account, made on Pachon 22 of year 2. It dates to the early 1st century AD.
The abbreviation is expanded as epitriton, apparently a charge or surcharge reckoned as one third. One catalogue description renders it differently as "epitrepon", so the exact nature of the payment is uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
