Contents: Deposition by the workman PA-Ra-Htp about a donkey which he entrusted to a woman (his nmH ). The animal was subsequently left outside by her and used by one Knr in order to transport some barley. When PA-Ra-Htp wanted to take the donkey back this apparently led to a dispute, followed by the court's(?) decision that the donkey should be paid or given back (this part is unclear due to the fragmentary state of lines 9-13). See Remarks.
