Account of wheat and barley with deductions for seed and gratuity TM 34267Ain Waqfa (Oasis Magna)2. Hälfte IV

A short grain account on an ostracon from Ain Waqfa in the Great Oasis (Kharga), second half of the 4th century AD. It totals wheat and barley measured by the estate's measure, deducts amounts for seed and a gratuity, halves the remainder, and adds allowances for days and hours, perhaps of irrigation or work.

In English machine translation

The "estate measure" (geouchikon metron) was a measure used by large landowners; the mation is a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba. The figures do not add up exactly as read, and the third line is illegible; the references to hours may concern shares of water rights.
