Description

This and the two surrounding papyri (P. Oxy. 146 and 148) are receipts for payments made by the monks of the monastery of Andreas. The present receipt is for a "rope or coil" provided by the monks for "the machine in the garden of the Holy Mary for raising water to fill the holy font." There are internal inconsistencies in the dating of the document, which have required Grenfell and Hunt to make assumptions regarding the correct date. The measurements of the fragment are 58 by 310 mm. [2]

It was discovered by Grenfell and Hunt in 1897 in Oxyrhynchus. The text was published by Grenfell and Hunt in 1898. [2]
