Abstract
Publication of the Late Period papyrus BM EA 69574. The text is highly remarkable for being laid out in verse-lines, each containing a Middle Egyptian and an early demotic (in hieratic script) version of the same text. Several general remarks on the grammar are included, especially concerning the vernacular version and its value in elucidating Middle Egyptian phenomena. The contents of the fragments are difficult to clarify. In general, they point towards a sort of ‘sapiental' composition in dialogue form. While the setting among herdsmen is clear, a connection with the youthful Horus remains more speculative.
