TM Ref 527154
"Μέλας"
= an attestation of TM Per 18021 in TM 7762, 5
Language / script: Greek
Date: BC 232 Oct 21 after?
Provenance: Egypt, 00c - Talithis (Kom Talit) [written]
Egypt, 00 - Arsinoites (Fayum) [found]
Cluster role: personThe cluster role indicates whether this attestation refers to an actual subject in the text, or to a genealogical identifier added to a person’s identification. E.g. person = subject; father = patronymic; mother = metronymic; grandfather = paternal papponymic; mgrandfather = maternal papponymic, etc.
Act: personA description of the role of this person in the text concerning this particular attestation. A person can, for example, appear as an addressee in one text, and a witness in another. If no particular act is described, this field contains the attestation’s 'cluster position' (see above) by default.
Notes: the scribe first wrote Μεγας, but later corrected this into Μέλας
Designation(s) of origin Any description of a person's ethnicity, origin, residence or other geographical designations that are explicitly added to this particular attestation in the text.
[No designations of origin recorded in TM Ref]
Function(s) Functions can include titles, occupations and status markers that are explicitly added to this particular attestation in the text, but older entries (mainly from the Prosopographia Ptolemaica) also record more abstract information. E.g. when a person can be linked to royal land, without explicitly being called a royal farmer, he is assigned to 'royal land (general)'.
[No functions recorded in TM Ref]
