Catalogue Description:
31 fragments with traces of Hieratic or Demotic writing; the great majority of fragments are written in Demotic. Approximately 11 of the demotic fragments are opisthographic. Only a few signs can be read with certainty due to the small size of the fragments. A number of the Demotic fragments have an early form of the script. Only two fragments are written in Hieratic. One fragment that has no text may belong to 47.218.156 as it has a double border line, a feature of that text.
