It may be conjectured that a second name
was given only after a child was well able to
speak.
The document appears to be a memorandum
of the price paid, or to be paid, for the
services of the two brothers. As no payer is
mentioned, presumably it was an affair of
the government; and as no time or specific
services are stated, probably the payment was
an honorarium given to the two brothers
on their appointment to the offices named.
The honorarium consisted of four Asiatics,
two women and two children, probably cap-
tured in a recent raid. These can hardly be
other than the four Aamu mentioned in the
will on PI. xii. (1. 10).

Statement of Claim.
Found at Kahun, April, 1889. Lot II. is
closely connected with Lot I., and contains
many references to the Sopdites.
The papyrus is considerably injured. Lower
and right-hand edges remain, and these, with
the points of the other edges, give a rectangle
of 111 x 8| in. = 29-5 x 22 cm. At 6f in. -
17'5 cm. from the right-hand edge there is a
join, the right-hand piece overlapping. Colour
pale brown.
Redo.—A legal claim : surface palimpsest.
Verm.—Blank.
The writing is in black ink only.
