Seven fragments. The accounts 121—1r25 are apparently all of the same character and probably all in the same hand. The appearance of the clay in r2z and 122 is indeed so similar that these fragments may all come from the same pot and per- ‘haps belong to the same account; 122 might, for example, be part of col. 2 of r2z, though, as the parts preserved are in any case not continuous, it is impossible to be sure of this; the moulding of the clay in two fragments of 122 is certainly rather in favour of the supposition. As we have no general heading to any of these accounts and they are all extremely fragmentary, it is by no means easy to discover their character and the principle of their arrange- ment; and I must confess myself unable to put forward any quite convincing explanation. The arrangement of the various accounts seems to be the same, except that in 127 each line begins with a/, whereas A/ does not occur in that position in 123. In rar it is followed by omo1, and that by a number denoting the day of the month. Next comes the word op/ preceded by a number, and followed by A/ with a name, usually of a camel-driver, after which comes an amount of wine. In 123 the day of the month (in ll. 1—g expressed by dyot(ws), i. e. “ditto”, referring to a previous number) begins the lines, which for the rest are identical in arrangement with those inur2z.,.
