Contents: Protracted legal case between the workman MnnA and the chief policeman MnTw-ms about a pot of fat, which the latter has failed to repay for 18 years. MnTw-ms swears an oath to repay the fat, which happens some time later through several parties, although the repayment is double the amount of his debt, because he has failed to make the deadline for payment.
