Inventories, Receipts and Disbursements

Texts 49-129 are all lists of things: tablets, precious metals, precious stones, miscellaneous metals, textiles, and texts with a variety of commodities. Except for the library records (nos. 49-56), the groups into which we have divided them cannot be rigid: precious metals and stones are often listed together, and some of the miscellaneous texts include precious items or textiles, or even both, so that it is quite possible that a smaller fragment on which only precious items or textiles are mentioned (and which is accordingly placed in an earlier group), was in fact part of a larger listing of miscellaneous items. Nevertheless, it is most convenient to discuss the texts in accordance with the groups in which they are placed.
