238-294 foreign peoples and lands: 238-242 in the west; 243-252 Hittite Empire and its allies in the Battle of Qadesh; 253-294 Syrians and Nubians

Following these are the designations for differences between human beings by age:

295 adult man (s)
296 youth (mnH)
297 old man (iAw)

300 mixed people (tp Sbn: this term might be used in administration to denote a group of people of different ages and both genders)
301 lad (aDd)

304 girl (rnnt: literally 'she who is nursed')
