Description

O.Douch III 330: Payment order.
Abraamios instructs his lord brother Sarapammon to provide Psenpenouthes with one marion of wine.

According to the editors, this Sarapammon could be the same as one from ʿAyn al-Wāqifa, issuing payment orders and receipts (O.Waqfa 4 and 24) and epimiletes. If so, Abraamios here could be the optio Abraam we find in other texts from Dūš.

One Psenpnouthes, dromedarius, is beneficiary of 4 artabas of wheat in O.Douch IV 375.
