“…Instead, the numbers, in most cases, were inscribed only on the tenth lines of the text. See, for instance, the verso of the Late Middle Kingdom papyrus Brooklyn 35.1446 (Hayes 1955). The scribe numbered every tenth line through the text and placed the numbers on the right of the lines, i.e., 10, 20, 30 until it reached the total number 70 (fig.…”

The numbering system was an uncommon scribal practice throughout the Ancient Egyptian documents; however, it was used in some texts from different periods. So different types of numbering will be presented in this paper, such as papyrus rolls numbering, pagination, line numbering, chapter numbering, vignettes, and mummy bandages numbering…. etc. This paper will also display the methods of numbering used by the scribes throughout the Egyptian texts.

“…This administrative text is concerned with the institution known as the "Great Enclosure" (h  nrt wr), the "Office of Assigning People" (h  Ꝫ n dd rmt  ), and with the peopling of h  bsw-lands. 62 Although the exact function of the "Great Enclosure" and its relationship with the "Office of Assigning People" is uncertain, it might be related to the management of labour, the manning of agricultural lands, and, in the case of the enclosure, a place of confinement for agricultural defaulters. 63 The recto of P. Brooklyn 35.1446 contains a series of punishments given to agricultural defaulters (mostly men but some women) that are dealt with according to the law (hp) concerning individuals who were missing (tš) or had fled (wᶜr).…”

Brooklyn 35.1446 contains a series of punishments given to agricultural defaulters (mostly men but some women) that are dealt with according to the law (hp) concerning individuals who were missing (tš) or had fled (wᶜr). 64 The punishment of offenders is varied. One passage describes how a ship's captain was stripped of his position and his family assigned to a labour camp because he had helped a defaulter escape.…”

Punishment, Patronage, and the Revenue Extraction Process in Pharaonic Egypt

The processes of control and collection are prominent themes throughout pharaonic history. However, the extent that the central regime attempted to administer agricultural fields to collect revenues directly from the farmer who actually worked the land is unclear during the pharaonic period (c.2686–1069). Relations between those involved in agricultural cultivation and local headships of extended families and wider kinship groups were deeply embedded within a broad range of interpersonal discourses, behaviours, and practices. Village headmen and officials at all levels of an impersonalized “state” hierarchy were themselves landholders who drew income from the land and were held responsible for collecting revenues from their fields. It is therefore necessary to define, with a focus on the imperatives of a subsistence economy, who was working the land and what the relationship was between them, the headmen, and those from within outside power structures (in the context of direct intervention against specific groups of the population). To address these points, I will focus on revenue extraction as a “state” process, how it was connected to the role of punishment, and its impact on local hierarchies (the targets of revenue extraction).
