Daily account of donkey transport on an estate TM 31530Theadelphia (Arsinoites)Mitte III

Fragment of a day-by-day account recording the use of donkeys, mostly those under the animal-keeper Pouaris, along with camel-drivers and bundles, on an estate. It belongs to the archive of Heroneinos, manager of an estate at Theadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, in the mid-3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

The epiktenites was the estate employee in charge of the pack animals. Numbers 24 to 30 at line starts are days of the month; 'bundles' (desmai) probably refers to bundles of hay or sheaves.
