Description | SB XXII 15311; SB XIV 11972: Register of tax payments in wheat Document in two fragments with a list concerning the collection of tax payments in various Hermopolitan villages to be transported on the boat of the monastery of Tabennese (Thebaid), represented by the monk (apotaktikos) Anoubion, son of Horion, from the village of Alabastrine in the Antinoites nome, here responsible for tax transportation. Also, one of the taxpayers listed is Paulos, deacon (l. 10). The right part of the papyrus, with the amounts, is lost. Although the text is difficult, it seems to be the earliest evidence for the implication of Pachomian monasteries in activities related to the transportation of the annona by boat. |
