1899.] CALENDAR OF THE WEEDON CORRESPONDENCE. 81 



Paris), the Baltimore fragment is one of the few in America, and 

 it is interesting on account of its fine handwriting and its complete- 

 ness in the titles of different columns or paragraphs. 



Besides that, in our fragment there are some variants worthy of 

 note. 



In the beginning of the eleventh abode we find a mention of 

 " Osiris, Lord of Tattou " (Ausar neb Tattu . . . ), which is never 

 seen in the other texts. 



All the phrases which in the Naville complete edition are erased are 

 here clearly legible ; even in the beginning of the twelfth abode, 

 when in this fragment is writteri, "Osiris who opens the doors of 

 heaven" (Ausar un aa pet . . . ); in all other fragments this 

 phrase is always wanting. 



Equally, in the beginning of the last or fourteenth abode, the 

 phrase, ''Ammon in Thebes " (xm^ii em Aptet), is not to be found 

 in any other edition.
