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 →

Fragment of a household or estate account book recording disbursements, mostly jars of wine, month by month to various people: the village scribe, family members, workers, a temple and the god, and for occasions such as a birthday and a wedding. It comes from the Hermopolite nome, late 2nd century AD.

Figures are probably numbers of wine jars (keramia); column totals are 69 and 74. Several abbreviated words (e.g. 'empty jars', 'heliasts') are uncertain readings.
