Inventory of bronze lamps and other temple objects TM 28255ArsinoitesII - 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 →

An inventory of temple objects, mostly bronze lamps, some listed by the vestry (stolisterion) they came from, together with cords, tablets connected with Sarapis, and rings. It comes from the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

1 bronze lamp from vestry 6 1 bronze lamp from vestry 7 2 bronze lamps from vestry […] 2 large bronze lamps 1 bronze lamp from vestry 2 1 bronze lamp, 3 cords 1 bronze lamp 3 tablets, for Sarapis (?) 2 rings

The stolisterion was the temple room where sacred vestments and cult equipment were kept; the numbers probably identify individual rooms or cupboards. The meaning of 'tabla' (tablets or boards) and the reference to Sarapis are uncertain.
