Abstract

This paper deals with the texts on a collection of hieratic wine jar dockets written in black ink. These dockets are now in the National Museum for Egyptian Civilization at Cairo, and they were excavated by E. Bresciani in the 1970s at Tuthmosis's IV temple in Gurna –Thebes. According to the paleography, formulae and content, the dockets date to the 18th dynasty, and the beginning of 19th dynasty, and they are comparable with similar dockets from Malkata.
