Demotic graffiti and other short texts gathered from many publications : (short texts III 1201-2350)
As continuation of the two preceding volumes of 'Short Texts' with demotic votive inscriptions (vol. I) and mummy labels (vol. II), this volume brings together all but 800 demotic and Greek-demotic graffiti. These are in principle all the graffiti published in periodicals, congress proceedings and colloquia and 'Festschrifts', as well as in monographs that are not exclusively concerned with demotic graffiti (chiefly excavations reports). The texts are presented in topographical order from South to North, with those from a single monument kept together. The texts show the full gamut of themes encountered in demotic graffiti, which are more varied than their reputation would suggest: the commemorative inscriptions often have more to offer than just names and provide information about the careers of the inscribers, occasionally even touching on historical events of a larger scale. Specifically the numerous and variegated graffiti from the stone quarries in Middle Egypt and at Tura and Masara opposite ancient Memphis deserve to be mentioned because many of these texts are published here for the first time. Several clusters of these quarry graffiti belong to the first demotic texts that were recorded in the nineteenth century, and they constitute the only extant copies for many texts that have now been destroyed. In addition, there are some three hundred brief inscriptions on various objects such as coins, hieratic papyri and mummy linen, stelae, sculptors' models and plaques, various vases and amphoras, containers for embalming materials, dishes for the preparation of kyphi, and various other objects.

Demotic Texts Revised A Demotic Berichtigungsliste
As demotic texts are not often, and also not easily, re-edited, a demotic version of the Berichtigungsliste der Griechischen Papyrusurkunden aus Ägypten seems like the ideal means to keep text editions up to date. The importance of a Berichtigungsliste in rendering demotic texts more accessible to students from outside the demotic specialisation, Egyptologists and Greek Papyrologists, Historians, ect., but also to the beginners in demotic proper, as well as the specialist eventually, need not be stressed. This paper is meant to announce our Institute's intention to prepare just such a demotic Berichtgungsliste. The requirements imposed on this undertaking by the wide public of non-specialists that we hope to adress, and the inherent difficulties, will be amply discussed. A peroration will dwell on the attitude towards texts and scientifïc tools of your average ideal demotic scholar.

The Erbstreit papyri : a bilingual dossier from Pathyris of the second century BC (P. Erbstreit)
The Erbstreit papyri, nineteen papyri with twenty texts, now dispersed over five different collections, represent a bilingual dossier that was collected in Antiquity as a result of inheritance disputes. The disputes started after the death of the woman Tamenos, daughter of Panas alias Hermokrates, when members from several branches of her family claimed the plots of land she had bequeathed to her children. A series of lawsuits ensued which were dealt with by a wide range of officials, starting with the local Provost Nechoutes up to the Viceroy Boethos, to be settled eventually before the Greek high court from Ptolemais in Middle Egypt when in session in Thebes. The volume provides a substantial introduction outlining the respective stages in the juridical dealings as well as (re-)editions of and comments in detail on the Greek and demotic texts.
