| Hands | In line 1, the readings 1/6 or 2 are both possible, but hedj followed by a whole number X must be understood as "X silver (deben)," an enormous sum compared to the following fractions of kite. In line 3, the number following the sign for kite looks more like 1 than 1/2, but the latter is the sum of the two preceding fractions, 1/6 + 1/3 = 1/2. The season name peret is also possible, giving the month Mecheir. |
| Origin | Thebes (?) |
| Language | Demotic |
| Date | December 7, 273 B.C. |
| Note (general) | Catalogue no. 28; Nelson collection no. N285. Teos, son of Petenephotes is Muhs' Taxpayer 8. The scribe Paches was responsible for several other yoke tax receipts and perhaps one nehet-tax receipt from Thebes between years 11 and 16, probably of Ptolemy II. (See additional OIM ostraca.) |
