The Carthage Tariff is a Punic language inscription from the third century BCE, found on a fragments of a limestone stela in 1856-58 at Carthage in Tunisia. It is thought to be related to the Marseille Tariff, found two decades earlier.[1]
It was first published by Nathan Davis, and the 11-line inscription is known as KAI 74 and CIS I 167.
The plaque lists the payments for ritual sacrifices, including which portions go to the priests and which to the offerer. It is thought to have been placed on a temple wall, setting out the rules for those giving offerings.
It is held in the archives of the British Museum, as BM 125303.[2]
