Payment order for cavalry fodder: SB XIV 12116

This Catholic University of America papyrus (Hyvernat inv. 372 = ICOR 75.73) was first edited by Leslie S. B. MacCoull as “An Account of Fodder for Pack-Horses”, ZPE 25 (1977) 155–158 with Tafel IV. It was subsequently reprinted as SB XIV 12116. At the end of the ed.pr., one of the ZPE editors, D(ieter) H(agedorn), proposed a different reading for the former lines 16–17 (now 17–18; see below, line 1 note). This has been accepted as correct and incorporated in the Duke Databank version of the text. Nevertheless, re-examination of the original publication has suggested that other improvements can be made, these being sufficient to justify a revised edition and interpretation, without radical alteration of the text itself.
