Notes
Twenty-two papyrus fragments, including two from the beginning of a Book of the Dead (upper left) dated to between the first century BC and the first century AD, and fifteen from Lahun (Egypt) written in hieratic script dated to c. 1800 BC. The five blank fragments are probably associated with the Lahun set. The Lahun fragments include, in the upper row, a fragment of a literary text, a name-list, and two fragments from a letter; and in the middle row, fragments of accounts and rubrics. The smaller fragments are of uncertain content. The two fragments from the Book of the Dead are written in hieroglyphics, possibly for a woman.
