O.Crum ad. 30
This document seems to be a list of donations made to the shrine of Apa John and Apa Jakob, or expenses in connection with a pilgrimage to the shrine, rather than of goods sold to a monastery dedicated to the saints. The list includes measure of wine, linen, sesame, and corn, as well as amounts of corn given for a camel and its fodder.
The head of the document reads as follows:
ⲡⲗⲟⲅⲟⲥ ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓ . . . ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲧⲟⲡⲟⲥ ⲛⲫⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲁⲡⲁ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ
'The list of what I have … to the topos of saint Apa Ioannes and Iakob:'
