ABSTRACT

The Papyrus No. 10335 was acquired by the Trustees of the Briti8h Museum many years ago, but no record of its history appears to have been kept. Dr. Hall informs me that it was probably purchased in the 'thirties of the last century. It consists of a single sheet of light-coloured papyrus measuring 40'7 em. x 11'5 em. inscribed on both sides. The sheet seems to have been torn vertically from a larger piece, probably a judicial papyrus of the type familiar in the Abbott, Mayer and other documents, as its width is just about the normal size of the Ramesside judicial papyri. The recto consists of eight long lines, written on the horizontal fibres (i.e., the vertical fibres of the original roll), and the verso has t,venty-one short lines written at right angles to those of the recto. There is a free space at the foot of the verso with roon) enough for about four lines Inore.
