List of domestic utensils, for an unknown purpose
The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 3 records across 3 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →
A fragmentary list of household articles, mostly leather goods such as double sacks and goat skins, together with a large dish. It comes from Karanis in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 3rd century AD.
Several terms are rare, notably tetradermata (apparently items made of four hides) and abeltes (meaning uncertain), so their translations are tentative. The quantities at the line ends are lost, and the purpose of the list is unknown.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
