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 household furniture and equipment, listing couches, cupboards, a chest, a tripod, vessels, tools and papyrus rolls with their quantities. It was written on the back of a papyrus from Memphis in the 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[verso, column 1] 3 plain couches 10 corner cupboards (?) 1 new chest 7 combs (?) […] 84 needles (?) 1 small tub 1 tripod 1 plain […] 2 […] […] 103 (?) [verso, column 2] baskets […] chests (?) […] bronze vessels […] cupboards (?) […] […] oak (?) […] blades […] tools […] pestles […] pomegranate rinds (?) […] papyrus rolls […]

Many entries are abbreviated or damaged, so several item names and numbers are uncertain. The second column keeps only item names; the quantities are lost. The century is given as III without era, presumably AD.

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