Abstract
Abstract The article presents a new edition of P.Berl.Bibl. 6 (= SB I 423), which appears to be an acknowledgement of receipt of a leased ammokopregon ship. It is argued that the ship was used for collecting silt fertiliser in the marshy parts of the Nile near Memphis, and that the name of the ship, Myrismos, is a Greek epithet of the Memphite god of the water lily and of fragrance, Nefertem.
期刊介绍:
The Archiv für Papyrusforschung (APF) (Archive for Papyrus Research) – founded in 1901 by Ulrich Wilcken – is the oldest specialised papyrus studies journal in the world. Nowadays, the APF differs from other journals specializing in papyrus studies, on account of its papers (literary papyri, Christian texts, papers on documents, judicial articles, Coptic texts and documents, demotica, interpretations and resources).
