This thirteenth volume in the series of the Catalogue des ostraca hieratiques non litteraires de Deir el-Medineh publishes 151 ostraca in photograph and facsimile with transcription and annotated translation. This group includes documents of the various kinds already exemplified in the Catalogue's previous volumes. As parts of the institutional documentation, one finds, for instance, lists of workmen, documents concerning the delivery, receipt and distribution of foodstuffs and commodities (including the usual grain rations), together with fragments of journals. The private documentation offers us many texts relating to payment for commodities or services, object inventories or loans of donkeys, together with texts registering the contribution in kind to social events by various groups of people. Also included in this category are documents of a legal nature, such as complaints or depositions before the qenbet, as well as numerous fragments of letters and messages. The final section of the book contains documents that are not part of the usual categories, or are too scarce to form categories by themselves. One finds therein, for instance, ostraca bearing series of figures.
