In this
detail we see scribes recording the entries and checking the farmÆs accounts. Squatting next to a low table, the scribes are busy writing, with brushes stuck behind their ears.\par
Alongside they have a palette in which the brushes were kept and which
had hollows for the paint. Bundles of papyrus scrolls are piled on the table.\par
