General Notes
The palimpsest contain a Demotic account of land registries. The roll is a compiled roll with Aktenklebungen, specifically what might be called Schreiberklebung (see Krutzch, "Blattklebungen," for the terminology).

recto vi 19 TAD includes scribal lines above line 𐡘 and below 6, but these are stains on the papyrus. Perhaps the writer used them is guiding marks to set appart the note pertaining to Jedaniah's contribution.
