The mummy label mentions a man called Kalleas. The name of his father is missing, as is his age. Instead, his profession is listed (trader). The deceased was transported by boat from the village of Philadelphos to the harbour of Kerke at the edge of the Faiyum. The upper part, with two lines of text, is in Berlin.
