The aim of the project DimeData (ANR-17-FRAL-0004-01 and 02-DFG 389429869 ) is to renew our knowledge of the economic life of Egyptian temples under the provincial Roman administration, through the study of the archives of the temple of Soknopaios in Dime, alias Soknopaiou Nesos, in the Fayyum. DimeData (http://dimedata.huma-num.fr) will provide an efficient way to publish online the demotic papyri recording the daily expenses of the temple of Dime. This will make available more than 40 long rolls still unpublished, kept mainly in the collections of Berlin, Vienna, Paris and London, for sharing with the already existing digital platforms. The poster aims at presenting the user friendly tool developed to encode and study those documents. It will give an overview of all the research possibilities offered by semantic annotation in TEI/Epidoc standard of translitered demotic texts, and will focus on the quantitative analyses and data visualizations this tool will allow, especially those dealing with products, prices paid for those products and prosopographical data.
