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 →

Fragmentary receipt on an ostracon from Kysis in the Great (Kharga) Oasis, acknowledging delivery of chaff through an intermediary whose name begins Pa-. It was signed by an official, probably a superintendent (epimeletes), in the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

I have received through you, Pa[…], […] of chaff (?), and then […] I have signed […] superintendent (?) […] […]

The word after 'chaff', read as kapeita ('and then'), is uncertain in sense; the official's title epimeletes is largely restored.

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