Daily record of donkeys and fenugreek loads TM 32104OxyrhynchosV
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 daily record from Oxyrhynchus, dated to the 5th century AD, listing donkeys supplied and loads of fenugreek carried on successive days of the month Pharmouthi. It is catalogued as a receipt for the provision of donkeys.
In English machine translation
13th of Pharmouthi:
10 donkeys; of these, 7 bundles (mandakai) of fenugreek, 350 armfuls (ankalai).
14th of Pharmouthi:
[…] 14 […]
15th […]
[…]
The month is written Pathermouthi, a variant spelling of Pharmouthi. Mandakai (bundles) and ankalai (armfuls) are units for bundled fodder or crops with no exact English equivalent; the word in line 5 is too damaged to translate.
