This thirteenth issue of the Catalogue of Non-Literary Hieratic Ostraca from Deir el-Medînéh includes the publication (in photograph and facsimile), transcription and annotated translation of 151 ostraca. This collection is composed of documents belonging to the different categories represented in the previous volumes of the catalogue. Among the institutional documents, we find lists of workers, documents relating to the delivery, reception and distribution of foodstuffs or various products (including the usual grain rations), not forgetting fragments of newspapers. Under the heading of private documents, a large number of texts concern the payment of objects or services, but we also find inventories of objects, documents relating to the rental of donkeys or others, recording the material contributions of groups of people to social events. Documents of a legal nature, such as complaints or depositions before the qenbet , also fall into this category, which is supplemented by numerous fragments of letters or messages. The volume finally includes some documents which do not fit into any of the usual categories, or are too few in number to form separate categories on their own, notably ostraca bearing series of numbers.
