Pouoris son of Phagonis

TM Arch id: 701

Quick facts

bilingual: Demotic and Greek

private archive (a "title deed archive")

Found in: U04b - Memnoneia - Djeme (Thebes west)

BC03 BC02

Protagonist: penultimate owner: Tapouoris daughter of Pouoris and Etes (Go to TM People)

Description: This private archive consists of title deeds only: a number of texts shows the ownership of real estate in the family of Tapouoris and Tasemis, going back three generations, up to the girls’ great-grandfather Gerba. Four of the five archival texts point to Tapouoris as last owner, who inherited real estate and its documents from her mother, but the fifth text shows Tapouoris and her sister Tasemis sold part (but not all) of the real estate to a man called Pouoris son of Phagonis, who may have become the new owner. While the family members of Tapouoris and Tasemis are prominently present in the archive, little is known about the last archive owner Pouoris, a ‘herdsman, servant of Montu, lord of Hermonthis’, who lived in the same area and who worked in the same milieu as Tapouoris’ and Tasemis’ relatives. The archive may have come from the same archaeological context as the archive of Amenothes, son of Harsiesis (TM Arch 445), which may have been found in a reused tomb in Deir el-Medina.

Publication: P. BM Andrews 40-42

Studies: Ryholt, Ripple in Still Water When There is No Pebble Tossed, 2022, p. 3-25, esp. p. 22-24.
