Nota de aplicación
Strips of hard or soft wood from the Roman era in Egypt. These were 3 to 6 inches in length and 2 to 4 inches wide, rectangular, and pierced with a hole which was strung with a length of papyrus. They carried information, in Greek or demotic, on the identity of the deceased, such as name, age and place of origin, and were probably affixed during transport from one location to another.
