Memphis Customs Account

previous next

Commentary

This Aramaic customs account details the customs paid by ships docking - probably - at the port of Memphis. It has been dated to either 475 or 454 BC, depending on whether the '11th year' (see - for example - AR1.12) refers to a date in the reign of Xerxes or Artaxerxes I; most scholars think 475 is the more likely date. The text is highly formulaic and offers a fascinating insight into the operation of a busy port and into the intensity and nature of trade relations between Egypt and regions such as Asia Minor. Below is Kuhrt's translation (14.10); for an idea of how this complex text was actually laid out and for the Aramaic see Porten and Yardeni (1993) C 3.7.
