Summary of Content	Taeit sells for three solidi a living room (line 6) and her share of common property (lines 14-16) to a man whose identity is lost. A strip containing an endorsement on its verso was erroneously published by Bell as the protocol of this document, with which it was framed in the British Library, but which is actually the protocol of P. Munch. 9.
Location of Composition	Aswan / Syene Upper Egypt, 1st nome Egypt (Certainty: )
Comments on Text	The translation J. J. Farber in Pap.Eleph.Eng. (1996) D25 is based on a new arrangement of fragments, cf. p. 461 introd. and p. 463, but there is no text edition. I have arranged the text in the proposed order, keeping the old line no.s of Bell. One fragment (containing the protocol) is not transcribed here, since it belongs to P.Münch. 9.
