Commentary:

This fragmentary text appears to be an administrative or economic record, possibly related to the production or taxation of refined nitre (a mineral salt used in ancient Egypt for various purposes, including mummification and cleansing). The mention of Elephantine suggests a geographical reference to the island in Upper Egypt. The text likely records the end of a specific period (possibly a half-year cycle) for the collection or processing of nitre. The name "Psenamounis" is Egyptian, and "Petenephotes" is also a known Egyptian personal name. The abbreviations and uncertainties indicate that the text is fragmentary and partially reconstructed.
