Miscellaneous Documents (P.Lond. V 1763, TM 38858)
- Scope & Content:
-
Upper papyrus (A): Beginning of a document; the descriptions of various individuals (e.g. Thaesis son of Horus, Silvanus, Castor, Hatres) coming from Hermopolite localities (e.g. hamlet of Pallas, Mnachis) survive. The back bears portions of an account, with names and sums of money. Both texts are unpublished.
Lower papyrus (B) (TM 765550): Fragment of an account from the seventh or eighth century, apparently of receipts, listing Hermopolite villages followed by sums of money, from which further sums are deducted; it is possibly an account of arrears. The back contains another account, written the other way up in relation to the text on the front, concerning the same localities.
