Account of daily obol payments, perhaps for market stalls TM 26541Arsinoites (?)II - III

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 →

Fragmentary account listing individuals with the days of the month on which they paid and the resulting charge of 1 obol per day, possibly fees for renting market stalls. A subtotal of 187 obols is given for one category, followed by the start of a section for cucumber (or gourd) sellers. Probably from the Arsinoite nome, 2nd-3rd century AD.

The numbers after each name appear to be days of the month, each charged at 1 obol. The identification as market-stall rents is tentative; 'sikyopol(ai)' means sellers of cucumbers or gourds.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
