Remarks: Numbers : note that Gardiner incorrectly has Cat. 1896 + 2006 instead of 1895 + 2006 ( Ramesside Administrative Documents , xiii), and Pleyte-Rossi pl. 154-157 instead of 155-157 (ibid., 35). W. Helck (in: W. Helck and W. Westendorf ed., Lexikon der Ägyptologie IV, Wiesbaden 1982, 737, no. Da 15) incorrectly has Cat. 1894 + 2006 + 1895 and Pleyte-Rossi pl. 154-157. Publication: verso II-IV are numbered I-III in Gardiner, JEA 27 (1941), 35-37. Contents: the calculations in columns IV and V were regarded as fakes by Gardiner, JEA 27 (1941), 31 and 32, but recognized as correct ones by Vinson, GM 146 (1995), 93-102. Names, Titles: name of fisherman OAy-Dr.t omitted in recto III 9 according to Gardiner, Ramesside Administrative Documents , 39a, note 4c. For iHw.t.y Nxt-Imn in recto III 13, see Gardiner, Ramesside Administrative Documents , 39a, note 11a (read iHw.t.y instead of wHa !). Verso IV 1: Gardiner read Nb.t-ww instead of nb.w ( Ramesside Administrative Documents , 99; JEA 27 (1941), 37).
