Description
Fragmentary hieratic papyri, mounted in one frame. B). Two fragments of an accounts, papyrus with text in red and black on recto only; torn and shredding at some edges; seven black guidelines. These fragments are a record of deliveries, in Hekats (~4.8 litres), from farmers in various locations (Khabu, Sheretkhastet and Wedjheretqau) followed by a record of distribution of rations. Exactly where in the storehouse the barley was distributed from is stated; the broken bits presumably said which storehouse the grain was contained in and the particular granary or magazine is noted afterwards.
