Berlin 6848, which is a Roman period temple inventory from the Fayum. In addition, it includes an appendix consisting of a list of items found in P. Berlin 6848 with their Greek equivalents, as well as a selection of other items found in Greek temple inventories.

OIM E 25285, T. OIM E 25286, T. OIM E 25287, T. OIM E 25288, and T. OIM E 25289, which are five Roman period Demotic mummy labels from Dendera, and of T. OIM E 19387, a Demotic-Greek mummy-label, which, despite its fragmentary state, is highly interesting and even exceptional in that its single text begins in Demotic and continues in Greek. Three of these labels display illustrations, including a mummiform male figure holding a piece of linen, an anthropomorphic figure with upraised arms in the so-called orans position, and an unusual illustration consisting of quadrants filled with lines, strokes, and irregular dots. The latter was clearly made with intent, but its interpretation eludes us.

The site was occupied during the Roman period (first and second centuries of our era, when it was known as Leukos Limen) and again during Islamic times (thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods). This port served as one small link in the international trade network of both these periods, stretching from the Mediterranean through the Indian Ocean.

François Gaudard and Jan Johnson worked extensively on the files for the letters Å (200 pages) and W (175), preparing and checking scans, references, and formatting, trying to resolve lingering problems of reading or translation and checking for consistency with citations already quoted in letter-files finished earlier. Both files, along with the expanded "Problematic Entries," which includes unresolved problems from these two files as well as from AE (191 pages, currently awaiting publication on-line), are now ready to be submitted to the Publications Office for posting on the Oriental Institute Web site. Jacqueline Jay spent the year proofreading and double-checking the "Text Information" and bibliography files. The former is our listing (running 150 pages) of every text cited in the Dictionary, providing date and provenance as well as publication information. Both it and the bibliography file (a modest 100 pages) are crucial to the users' ability to track down our references, parallels, and citations. Megan Wells, an undergraduate in the College, volunteered her time to check every text citation in Å and W against the "Text Information" (TI) list to make sure we had included every text and that the date given for the text in the letter files agreed with the date given in "TI." She also checked every author citation in the letter files against the bibliography to make sure that we had the correct date and had used the agreed-upon abbreviation. This year for the first time in several years we also were able to hire three younger Egyptology students, Kayo Anthony, Kevin Johnson, and Elise McArthur, who prepared digital scans of published Demotic texts. Having the scans on hand should save us time as we move on to the next letter-file for checking and proofing and preparation of individual scans.
