Summary of Content | Board with different accounts from the administrative archive of the Chnoum temple, presumbaly a notepad, which was thrown away after transferring all data to the final archive papyrus rolls. This board contains list of persons and their shares, mentioning money and grain, with several sums and totals. The heading in II:3 states that these are "the expenses of the temple", meaning the Chnoum temple. Names like Pahemnetjer-Chnoum or Pa-hetnetjer point to priests of the temple mentioned here. |
