Description: | Fragment of a papyrus roll bearing parts of three columns of demotic writing, with ten additional pieces formerly attached to the back of the main piece; from cartonnage head-piece B in a series of eight found by Petrie at Rifeh; mounted in a glass frame. According to Herbert Thompson the contents of the large fragment may be identified as a banker's account, consisting mainly of a namelist, most names being Greek, frequently with the note 'from (?) Peteese', perhaps implying payment through an intermediary (official?); of three amounts it is stated that a woman Senese paid them in, and of three others that Aias son of Senese paid them in. The name Dositheos son of Nikaios is also found in Rifeh E6 (cf UC 55864-5), and the name Wyrhen (for Heron?) son of Petechous is also found in Rifeh E7 (cf UC 55866-7); the handwriting of those fragments is different to that of this piece. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Ptolemaic Period; start=-305; end=-30 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
