Account of wheat deliveries in loads TM 29983unbekanntII - 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 →

A fragmentary ostracon account recording deliveries of wheat counted in loads on various days of Pachon and Epeiph, ending with a signature formula. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] … total 81 […] likewise, another 8 2/3 loads [Pa]chon 13, likewise 2 loads of wheat [likewise] 1 1/3 1/8 loads of wheat […] … Epeiph 6, 9 1/2 1/8 (artabas?) of wheat. I have signed.

The abbreviation φο(ραί) is taken as 'loads', a transport unit of grain rather than a measure such as the artaba. The unit in the last line is not written.

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