κεράμιον [page 341] Ostr 757 .3 (B.C. 106 5) ἀπέχω παρὰ σοῦ οἴνου κεράμια δέκα ἕξ , P Oxy IX. 1211 .5 (ii/A.D.) οἴνου εὐώδη κεράμ (ια ) β̄ , ib , 1220 .17 (iii/A.D.) γλυοῦ ( gum ) κεράμιον ᾱ . According to Wilcken Ostr. i. p. 758 ff. the κεράμιον contained a fixed quantity of fluid, but in their note on P Petr III. 70 ( a ), the editors show that the amount was variable, as the papyrus refers to κεράμια of 5, 6, 7 and 8 χόες : cf. also Archiv iii. p. 435. For κεραμίς in the same sense see P Lond 1177 .158 (A.D.113) (= III. p. 185) an account for κεραμείδων , the number required each month proving, as the editor points out, that jars for water and not tiles must be meant, and further explaining the countless number of ostraca found in Egypt. On the other hand in P Iand 12 .3 (iii/iv A.D.) γινώσκιν σε θέλω περὶ τῶν κεραμίδων ὧν ἔγραψές μοι , the reference appears to be to tiles.
