In regard to the identiﬁcation of these birds see Peet, page 126.

Problem 84

Estimate the feed of a stall of oxen.

Eisenlohr gave the numbers 85, 86, and 87 to certain fragments that are not a part of the mathematical work of the papyrus, but are of interest, although incomplete and more or less unintelligible. As they cannot in any sense be called problems I will use the word "Number" when referring to them, but will give them these numbers, as does Eisenlohr, in continuation of the numbering of the problems.
