Upper edge
of a papyrus roll containing an account of meat supplies to officials
Surviving part of the
document divided into three parts, one for each day
A grid has been drawn
up to assist the alignment of lines and columns for information laid out in
three horizontal registers:
(1) the top register
gives date, followed by name and title of a presiding official
(2) the next register
gives short vertical lines recording name and title of each recipient
(3) a third register
records the kind of meat cuts supplied; this is largely destroyed
