Abstract
After the death of Yigael Yadin, three small parchment fragments, with no classification marks, were found in the drawer of his desk. Each one has partial lines in Hebrew letters.' The absence of classification sigla leads to the assumption that these fragments were not discovered at Masada, because Yadin was most careful about the meticulous registration of all items discovered there.2 It is probable that the source of all three fragments-or at least of two-is Qumran, and that they found their way into the hands of an antique dealer, from whom-or from an intermediary-Yadin purchased them.3 I am publishing these small items so that scholars may try to identify them, and possibly attribute them to known works.4
