Description (CMS Description)
Papyrus with Demotic text written in black ink on recto and verso. On recto, a land register including landholders, some with clearly Greek names, and the size. On the verso are what appear to be accounts. The papyrus is a palimpsest; in its final stage it was re-used as cartonnage, with the stucco still visible on the verso.
