Dear Forum Members,
during my research for a paper on issues of Roman monetary law, I have come across an Aramaic papyrus recording the sale of a fig grove in the first century CE. The paper was published in Koffmann, Die Doppelurkunden aus der Wüste Juda, 1968, 170-172. I am mostly interested in the meaning of the word לחין (lamed het jod nun) used in l. 8.
Since I am not a expert on papyri, let alone Aramaic papyri, I would appreciate any hints to recent literature: Has the papyrus (which in 1968 had no number) been published elsewhere since Koffmann? Are there any recent articles on this papyrus or specifically on the meaning of לחין ? I am aware of Gross, Continuity and Innovation ... but have not been able to look at it yet.
Many thanks in advance and best wishes
Thomas
