Book-keeping for a Cult of Rameses II
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Extract
In his Rechnungen aus der Zeit Setis I, p. 77, Professor Spiegelberg has published, à propos of New Kingdom account papyri in general, a fragment of papyrus, at one time in the Musée Guimet, whose interest lay in the mention of a new place-name 
in connexion with the well-known town of Nefrusi, 
, The occurrence of these two names in a hieratic fragment, B.M. Pap. 10447 (acquired by the British Museum fifty-one years ago) suggested the following synthesis.

page 19 note 1 Its present whereabouts is unknown. Professor Moret, who very kindly searched the archives of the Musée Guimet, but without any success, tells me that it was not in the Musée when he became Conservateur in 1906. Professor Spiegelberg has heard nothing of it since he copied it there some time before 1896 (the date of the publication of his Rechnungen).
page 19 note 2 7¼ by 4½ in. at greatest length and breadth respectively. The papyrus is bleached to a greyish colour. The top, right-hand and bottom edges are unhurt; the left-hand is very ragged as a result of the tear which caused the estrangement of the two fragments.

page 24 note 2 Spiegelberg, ibid., read 
for

is confirmed by the writing in 1. 4 of the B.M. fragment. I have transcribed 
with 
, for the sake of consistency with the writing below (instead of Spiegelberg's 
).
page 25 note 1 The scribe has undoubtedly written 
, which in hieratic somewhat resembles 
. The mistake occurs also in hieroglyphic as early as the reign of Amenophis III (Petrie, Wainwright, and Gardiner, Tarkhan I and Memphis X, pl. lxxx, 1. 19), and is quoted by Spiegelberg, , Demotica, II, 53Google Scholar, note 5, in Sitz. d. Bayerischen Ak. d. Wiss, 1928, 2, Abhandl., as an accepted variant at the end of the New Kingdom. I owe this reference to Dr. Gardiner.
