706 LISTS WITH FEMALE SIGNS

is found with the ' man' sign attached on another tablet.1 The ' throne'
sign at the beginning of [j^[j affords a further indication that the persons
listed on these tablets were not as a rule of servile condition.
The elegant style of this inscription at once strikes the eye. It is one
of distinct group marked by the same ' Court
hand'. A feature of this group is the con-
ventional half-seated attitude of the ' man'
sign itself, which suggests an archaic tradition.

Lists with Female Names.

female Fig.'684), the most important is that of which my transcript is reproduced,
slightly enlarged^ in Fig. 6S9.3 The tablet, which is beautifully inscribed,
is practically complete, and consists of fourteen lines.
It contains a double list with a statement at the end of each of the
total number mentioned. It is thus analogous to the large tablet, Fig. 6S6
above, repeating the 'man' sign, though unfortunately in this instance,
owing to lacunas, it is not possible in either list to check the' addition sums
arrived at. That at the end of the inscription is entirely broken off. The
calculation is further complicated by the fact that in more than one case the
'woman' sign, though accompanied by only a single name, is followed by
numbers referring to more than one person. Thus the group p^g, which
