Textual Notes
Possible joins: P. 23133.*1*
*1*Porten³, 48 believes that P. 23133 may go to Collection List of Egyptian Family Units, but the stylus, strokes, and material quality better match this document.

frag. c 2: The surviving stroke on the final letter is likely not ק as Porten, “Aramaic Papyrus Fragments in the Egyptian Museum of West Berlin,” 43 (and TAD’s translation implicitly) holds. The long vertical favors reading נפרת “litigation,” in which case the opening date formula and this work suggests that the record roll includes the summary of a court preceding (perhaps in memorandum-style). Cf. the entries on P. 13447 v.
