On pages 95-96 are given brief descriptions of the two tablets 25367, 25368 to which attention was drawn by Brugsch in 1891; see Brugsch (I891). Plates 62-64 contain fine photographic reproductions of both sides of the tablets, which were acquired by the Museumiin 1885. Both tablets were written by the same hand. See also Daressy (1906), Möller (1911), and Feet (1923, 1).

Crum, W. E., Coptic Ostraca from the Collections of the Egypt Exploration Fund, the Cairo Museum and others, the texts edited with translations and commentaries, London, 1902.
Ostracon 480, p. 46 of the translations and p. 78 of the texts. At the first reference Crum remarks: "Apparently arithmetical tables; but their system and purpose are to me unintelligible." Sethe discovered the translation and it is given in Sethe (1916), p. 71. It is a table of the values of 1⁄31 of ⅓, ½, 1, 2, . . ., 31. For example 1⁄31 of 25 is given as ½ ¼ 1⁄31 1⁄62 1⁄124. This ostracon is from Denderah and is in University College, London.
