XVIII (photographs, transcription, description); Helck, Die datierten und datierbaren Ostraka , 234-235 (translation) ; Kitchen, Ramesside Inscriptions V, 558 (transcription); Wimmer, Hieratische Paläographie I, 132-133 (transcription, description)

Terminology: wDA.t (rev. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6); r a NN (obv. 3); r a tA is.t (obv. 3); HA.w r=f (obv. 6); r tA wDA.t n rnp.t-sp ? (rev. 1)
Names/Titles: Imn-nxt ( sS ; obv. ~4#); ax-p.t ( sS ; obv. ~5#); Ms (obv. 3)
Remarks: Keywords: S ign transcribed by editor as Sn (obv. 2 ) is actually Hnk ; read Hnk.y.t mn-grg . In obv. 3 read rr "pigment" (so Helck, Die datierten und datierbaren Ostraka , 235 ), or pXr.t "medicine"? Sign transcribed by editor as Aa 2 (rev. 2-4) is actually V 19 ( XAr )? (Haring). Provenance: see H. Loebenstein, in: Papyrus Erzherzog Rainer , Vienna, 1983, 14 (reference here due to A. Zdiarsky). The indication by Goedicke, WZKM 59/60 (1963/1964) , 1 , is therefore not correct for this ostracon.
