Account of grain amounts in artabas and matia TM 34275Ain Waqfa (Oasis Magna)2. Hälfte IV

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 short ostracon account listing amounts of grain, in artabas and matia, credited to three individuals, with a total, issued through a certain Latos. It comes from Ain Waqfa in the Great Oasis and dates to the second half of the 4th century AD.

In English machine translation

Kleobos: 1 artaba, 2 1/2 matia Abraham: 7 1/2 matia […]os […]: 6 matia Total: 2 artabas, 6 matia Through me, Latos.

The mation is a small dry measure, a fraction of an artaba. The listed figures do not obviously add up to the stated total, possibly because of the lost name and readings in line 3.
