Description

This papyrus contains a list of names arranged by families, which suggests that the list was compiled from a census list. Some persons listed within certain name-group have no apparent relation to eachother; probably these persons were grouped together because they shared a house. Lines 140-145 (verso, col. iii) contain 31 numbers, all in the region between 19 through 23. The total sum of these figures is then given in line 146. This construction follows a standard formula: A sum is given, then specified, and finally the single entries of the analysis are added up once again as a final check.
