107); and in the New Kingdom, Spiegelberg,
Bechnungen, p. 78, and below, pi. xl., 11. 21, 27,
abbreviated to * .
The households, we see, consist of wife,
young children, and unmarried female relatives,
also in the case of richer people (PI. x.) of female
slaves and their young children, but no grown-
up male slaves. In PI. x., 11. 9 and 24, we
have two males mentioned, no longer but
probably still very young.
