Description:

Teihor, the legatee of Pleehe, sells the house which forms the chief item in Demotic Papyrus 11 to another woman, Teiant (?). The text consists of the 'writing of divestment', followed by four witness copies. Demotic Papyrus 12 is the agreement for the sale, Demotic Papyrus 13 is the cession. In a separate document, Demotic Papyrus 14, the father of Teihor likewise makes a cession of the house to the same woman.
