as per the artical referenced above:
for the common man
One day's wage=one denarius
One Denarius=10 Asses
One sheet of papyrus=6 asses.

To Put it in terms you can understand. Let's say you make 10 dollars an hour, 100 dollars aday. Out of that $100 it takes 60 dollars to buy one sheet of paper. Then you have to pay a 'scribe' (per line) to write on it.

Now tell me some more about how affordable this was to the common man.
1. You didn't have to pay anyone to write on it.
2. You could always make your own sheets of papyrus at home, it wasn't hard. It probably took about 1/2 hour's labour at the most per sheet (you have to cut and soak the strips for three days, then assemble them, and then press them with a rock).
3. There was a lot more papyrus then you think, certainly a lot more than has survived and exists today.

Quote:the word that describes Joseph's profession, describes both a skilled and unskilled laborer. Couple this with where Jesus grew up (Jesus grew up in Nazerath a military garrison town.) it is most likly that Joseph was probably poor. A great craftsman would do better in a larger city or a port town.
You're making an assumption. If Joseph was a 1st century builder/carpenter then he would most likely have been well paid.

He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
