Fourth of five glass-mounted sections of papyrus from a large scroll containing the Contendings of Horus and Seth, a series of Egyptian love-songs, an Encomium of Ramesses V, a hymn to the god Amun, a sale of a bull and other memoranda or business jottings, written in hieratic at Thebes during the reign of Ramesses V (c. 1160 BC), the 4th pharaoh of the 20th Dynasty. A colophon at the end of the mythological narrative reads: 'It has come to a happy ending in Thebes, the place of Truth (?)'. The scroll was part of a larger 'Theban find' of literary texts, the remainder of which were presented to the British Museum by Edith and Chester Beatty in 1930. These papyri were determined to be part of an archive discovered at Dier el-Medina, a community of craftspeople who worked in the Valleys of the Kings and Queens. The archive, or private library, originally contained about 40 papyri now dispersed in collections in Cairo, Geneva, London, Oxford and Dublin.
