Account of meat in pounds TM 34556Kysis (Oasis Magna)IV - Anfang V

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 →

An ostracon account listing quantities of meat in pounds assigned to several individuals, with a total. It comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis (Kharga) and dates to the 4th or early 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

M…[…]…[…] Sebeneeit, 8 pounds Dionesis (Dionysios), 3 pounds Eulogis (Eulogios), 3 pounds Viktor, 1 1/2 pounds Plenis tesel(…)(?) …[…] Total of meat: … pounds […] 79 pounds

The pound (litra) was a Roman weight of about 327 g. The final figure of 79 pounds does not match the surviving entries, so further entries or a separate reckoning are probably lost.

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