1. Papyrus 2359
This is an interim version of our Archives and Manuscripts Catalogue while we continue to recover from a cyber-attack
Papyrus sheet badly damaged and shredded, with traces of writing running across the fibres on the front, mostly blank. Four clay seals survive. Mounted on cardboard in a glass frame.
Twenty-five papyrus fragments from mummy cartonnage (traces of plaster) and six papyrus fragments apparently from other context (1+2+3+4+5+6), housed in the same glass frame

The text appears to be written in columns, but the layout is not entirely clear. The verso of 4 is partly hidden by some papyrus (which may come from another text).
7: Fragment of papyrus, written on one side (1 line along the fibres).
8: Fragment of papyrus, written on one side (3 lines along the fibres).
9: Fragment of papyrus, written on both sides (3 lines along the fibres on recto, traces on verso). The text is upside down.
