Description: Archive of burial, burial plot, dyke, salt, wool tax receipts issued to Harsiesis son of Amenothes, mortuary priest, and his wife Chibois (249-236 BC). Chibois is usually mentioned as copayer, except for O. Taxes 2 65, where she acts alone (wool tax receipt). Most ostraca were acquired in 1838, undoubtedly originating from a single find. The protagonist is also mentioned in a list of names O. Taxes 1 30 and the account O. Taxes 2 156. He may have been the son of the archive owner Amenothes son of Harsiesis and Chibois (TM Arch 445), attested in the early second century BC (see P. BM Andrews, p. 47).

Studies: O. Chicago Muhs, 2005, p. 122 (taxpayer 29); O. Taxes 2, 2011, p. 269-70; Muhs in Fs. Martin, 2022, p. 129-131.
