| Hands | The season name in line 3 appears to be the same as in line 2, where the short writing favors shemw over peret. The day number is clearly 10+, but it is difficult to choose between 12 and 14 because the scribe used up all the space for writing. |
| Origin | Thebes (?) |
| Language | Demotic |
| Date | August 31, 249 B.C. |
| Note (general) | Catalogue no. 53; Nelson collection no. N314. Taminis, daughter of Parates is Muhs' Taxpayer 26. 1/12(?) silver (kite) or 1 obol is the price of 1/2 kotule or 0.14 liter of oil. A reading 1/6 silver (kite) is less likely. The scribe Esminis was responsible for many other price of oil receipts from Thebes between years 30 and 38 of Ptolemy II. (See additional OIM ostraca.) |
