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 →

Fragment of a list of foodstuffs, mostly meat and seafood measured in pounds (litrai), arranged by day numbers. Written in Late Antique Egypt, 4th to 7th century AD.

In English machine translation

[...] [...] meat, [...] lbs. 2[...] [...] 6 lbs. ophellia (small cuts?) 5 lbs. sea squirts (?) [...] [...] to Ti(?) meat [...] lbs. 22 ophellia 6 lbs. [...] [...] lbs. [...] meat 9 lbs. 23 bears (crabs?) 10 lbs. ophellia 5 lbs. to the same, another 2 lbs. Ti(?) meat 18 lbs. 22 crab [...] 5 lbs. Ti(?) meat five lbs. 25 [...] 10 lbs. [...]

The numerals 22, 23 and 25 at line starts probably mark days of the month. 'Ophellia' is an uncertain food term, and 'arktoi' here may denote a crustacean (slipper lobster) rather than bears; 'tethea' are probably sea squirts or similar shellfish.

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