P. BnF 239: A Demotic Wine Account on the Recto of a Document of Breathing
Summary This paper examines the Demotic text of P. BnF 239, which is held in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris. The text, written in the 2 nd Century CE, contains several lists of wine deliveries that were likely brought to a temple in Thebes as payments in kind. The verso of the papyrus was reused for a Hieratic version of a Document of Breathing, a funerary composition that is typical of the Theban area.
