This volume publishes 92 Demotic graffiti, along with several ostraca and mummy bandages, from Theban Tombs at Dra Abu el-Naga, studied under the Spanish Mission directed by Jose Galan. In an introductory chapter Galan discusses the work at Dra Abu Naga and recounts the history of this area of the Theban Necropolis down to the Roman period.

The papyri published here form part of a large family archive in the Egyptian Fayum. Written in Demotic and Greek, they are an excellent source of information about the Egypt of the fourth to third century b.c. Of interest to Egyptologists, Hellenists, and all those interested in the economic and social history of the Late period in Egypt.
