Catalogue Description:
A group of 9 inscribed papyrus fragments, 7 of which are written in Late Period Hieratic and 2 in Demotic. At least one of the Hieratic fragments belongs to 47.218.87a (the Eye Papyrus) and one probably belongs to 47.218.2, based on the size and shape of the hand. The other fragments bear too little text for positive identification and classification, at least for the present.
