Text Content

Text Types
  • documentary
  • documentary | account
  • documentary | list
Summary of Content Due to the amount of the preserved text and the stains it is not clear what the text is; it seems to be either a list or an account of some kind based on the numbers occurring (20, 12, 4, 3, 4, 3, 3); another visible word is Presbyteros (ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧ[ⲉⲣⲟⲥ]), which is either a name or the word for "priest". A person named Presbyteros son of Nilamon is scribe and witness in P.12255 - can it be connected to him?
Location of Composition Elephantine Upper Egypt, 1st nome Egypt (Certainty: )
