PLATE S XIV-XXVI8.
ACCOUNT
This class of documents has hitherto been
represented, so far as the Middle Kingdom is
concerned, by the great papyrus which, with
other fragments, is known as no. 18 of Bulaq
(containing the royal accounts at Thebes under
a king of the Xlllth Dynasty), and a fragment
attached to the Rhind Mathematical papyrus.
Kahun, VI. 21.
[PL XIV., 11. 1-8.]
(On PL xiv. there are three fragments of
lists and accounts from the great collection
numbered VI. They are evidently closely
related, and the high dates show that they
belong to the reign of Amenemhat III.)
Upper half of a sheet. Width, 9f in. -
25 cm.; height, 6 in. — 15 cm. Brown, some-
what coarse.
Recto.—After a broad margin, the heading
of a list. Writing in black with traces of red.
Verso.—Account of oxen (PL xv.) and traces
of a preceding page of MS.
Becto.—Heading of a List of Workmen.
1. Year 45, 3rd month of Verdure (Athyr), day.........

Usertesen ............

5. Mustering of shaiyaMn dragging stones, which (will

and the 1st month of Winter (Tybi).

Khoiak and Tybi.

red, similar to that on p. 1 of VI. 14, also on
this plate.)
