After Herakles' death the archive was continued temporarily by his son Pebrichis II, but after AD 149 the archive remains silent for more than 30 years. From AD 180 at the latest Senkametis' grandson Pebrichis III joins her as archive owner and he is regularly found in receipts until his death in AD 193. Senkametis' granddaughter Tkroris pays the funeral taxes .
