Account of chaff listing individuals with one mation each TM 372090Trimithis (Oasis Magna)

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 individuals, each with one mation (a small dry measure), apparently of chaff. It comes from Trimithis in the Dakhla Oasis.

In English machine translation

Pekysis son of Horos, 1 mation the son of Serenos, 1 mation Sarapas, 1 mation Seratos, 1 mation To Silas, hired worker, 1 mation […]

The mation is a small dry measure with no exact English equivalent. The identification of the commodity as chaff comes from the catalogue title, not the surviving text.

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