المستخلص

Coptic orders are economic documents that help identify the types and quantities of agricultural crops that were grown and consumed in specific regions during certain time periods. The aim of the present paper is to publish ten Coptic orders on ostraca, which are now kept in the Abou El-Goud storage magazine at Luxor. However, I have found no information on these texts except that they were in the possession of a person called Zaki Mohareb. Eight of these documents are for wheat, while the remaining two relate to liquid commodities; one is about wine, and the other is about a liquid commodity that is unclear due to the incompleteness of the text.
