This article discusses the history of P. Berol. inv. 6848, known for the Demotic temple inventory published as P. Zauzich 12, and provides the first edition of the Greek account on the back, which belongs to the archive of the Soknopaiou Nesos priest Pakysis (TM Arch 165). An appendix lays out the story of its reappearance in the early 1990s as part of a group of thirteen Berlin papyri in private hands and the negotiations and maneuvers that eventually led to the acquisition of this group by the National Museum in Warsaw in 1998.
