This seems to be from some account or memorandum. There are three pieces which appear separated in the British Museum Facsimile, but since that was made they have been placed together in their proper relative positions as may be seen in Photograph 31, volume 2. There are eighteen lines, but parts are missing from both ends of the lines. The following is a translation of the words that remain in the eighteen lines:

1. . . . living forever. List of the food in Hebenti. ..

2 . . . his brother the steward Ka-mosè. ..

3 . . . of his year, silver, 50 pieces twice in the year. ..

4. . . . cattle 2, in silver 3 pieces in the year. ..

5. . . . one twice; that is, $1/undefined$ and $1/undefined$. Now as for one. ..

6. . . . 12 hînu; that is, silver, $1/undefined$ piece; one. ..

8. . . . year, barley, in quadruple hekat, $1/undefined$$1/undefined$ of 100 hekat 15 hekat; spelt, 1$1/undefined$$1/undefined$ hekat. . . hekat. ..
