Description
Fragmentary sheet of hieratic accounts papyrus, in black and red, in thick, large, clear signs, giving a table of account concerning fields, dated year 26 of Amenemhat III, in 13 lines with four columns of numerous (headings lost); verso blank. Badly torn, with numerous insect-holes: top right corner and part of left edge intact. Petrie lot No. XIII.1. This account shows how much Hori was worth. According to this document, in year 33 of what we can assume to be the previous king, Senwosret III, a census had been taken and Hori was registered as having 55 aurora of land, which was about 15 hectares. By the time this document was written, about 30 years later, he had gained at least 10 more aurora (2.76ha) and was working an unknown quantity of temple land.
