Abstract
Discussion of some Deir el-Medina ostraca in which nty m-di is the key term. They are to be distinguished from those which record an exchange transaction. The suggestion (by Manning et al.) that the nty m-di formula indicates that a middleman was involved is rejected. The texts reflect an ‘open credit system’, typical for an economically less developed, moneyless society. At the end the matter of P. Cairo 65739 is discussed as a clear example of the system.
