Grain Account
Account of deliveries of grain
The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 3 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →
Fragment of an ostracon account listing amounts of grain in artabas against individual names, probably recording deliveries. It likely comes from Karanis in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD.
The left side of each line is lost, so the personal names survive only as fathers' names or endings. One related record describes the text as a list of liturgical workers dated to the late 3rd century AD.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of liturgical workers). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
