1 The documents known until 1923 are conveniently available in A. Cowley, Aramaic Papyri of the Fifth Century B.C. (Texts are quoted by the letter C, and number).

3 The list is strangely incomplete. Muffs enumerates 10 documents, omits 8 others: the deeds of gift C 46, K 4, 6, 10; deeds concerning barter, C 1, 43; a deed relating to the reversion of property, C 9; a division of an inheritance, C 28. Muffs deals with most of these in their proper place.
