Description

It is not clear to what purpose this list was compiled. It has been written by six different hands (all of well-trained scribes). For different days of two different months the donkeys and camels which entered a certain metropolis were noted. A possible explanation could be that this was done in connection with the taxes or custom duties to be levied, or in connection with the food supply of the metropolis.
