Of these, the majority are still not formally published, and in this second volume in the series, Bezalel Porten continues the publication of this important corpus of 4th century B.C.E. economic texts. With the expert epigraphic assistance of Ada Yardeni and hand-copies by her as well, Porten here provides the second volume of texts, organized by “dossier” based on the primary personage cited in the text. Color photographs (where available), ceramic descriptions, hand-copies, transcription, translation, and commentary are provided for each text, along with tables of seven grain dossiers. This publication will become the primary resource for information on these texts, which provide insight into the economic, social, and religious lives of Idumeans in the late Persian and early Hellenistic periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbbreviations and Select Bibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplanation of Typographic Conventions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrain Equivalencies\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNumeration Legend\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTables\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTexts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA11–50 Commodity Chits\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA11–50 Personal Name Dossiers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA11–14 Betweeen 25 and 20 Entries (between 15 and 12 chits)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA11.1–24\/25 (15 chits) Dossier of Qosmalak \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA12.1–24 (12 chits) Dossier of Zubaydu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA13.1–20 (12 chits) Dossier of Abdadah\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA14.1–23 (13 chits) Dossier of Al(i)qos\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA15–25 Between 19 and 11 entries (between 11 and 2 chits)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA15.1–18 (5 chits) Dossier of Zabdi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA16.1–16 (9 chits) Dossier of Qosḥanan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA17.1–16 (10 chits) Dossier of Qosadar\/ider\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA18.1–14 (10 chits) Dossier of Ḥal(a)fan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA19.1–15 (10 chits) Dossier of Aydu\/Iyadu\/Ghayru\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA20.1–13 (5 chits) Dossier of Qosyinqom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA21.1–16 (11 chits) Dossier of Maš(i)ku\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA22.1–12 (10 chits) Dossier of Suaydu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA23.1–11 (4 chits) Dossier of Malku\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA24.1–13 (5 chits) Dossier of Ubaydu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA25.1–11 (2 chits) Dossier of Laadiel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA26–40 Between 11\/12 and 8 entries (between 9 and 4 chits)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA26.1–10 (9 chits) Dossier of Qosyahab\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA27.1–10 (6 chits) Dossier of Qosnaqam\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA28.1–9  (4 chits) Dossier of Zaydu\/Ziyadu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA29.1–9 (6 chits) Dossier of Uzayzu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA30.1–11\/12 (8 chits) Dossier of Qosani\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA31.1–11 (5 chits) Dossier of Qosrim\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA32.1–8 (4 chits) Dossier of Zabdiel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA33.1–8 (8 chits) Dossier of Ḥaggagu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA34.1–8 (5 chits) Dossier of Ḥori\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA35.1–10 (5 chits) Dossier of Ḥazira\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA36.1–8 (5 chits) Dossier of Naum\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA37.1–8 (6 chits) Dossier of Ani\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA38.1–9 (8 chits) Dossier of Udaydu\/ru\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA39.1–8 (8 chits) Dossier of Qoslakin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA40.1–9 (4 chits) Dossier of Qosghayr\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA41–50 Between 7 and 4 entries (between 6 and 3 chits)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA41.1–7 (4 chits) Dossier of Zabdu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA42.1–7 (5 chits) Dossier of Yathu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA43.1–6 (4 chits) Dossier of Marṣaat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA44.1–7 (4 chits) Dossier of Qosyad\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA45.1–6 (3 chits) Dossier of Qoslaytha\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA46.1–7 (3 chits) Dossier of Rahnu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA47.1–6 (4 chits) Dossier of Zabdadah\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA48.1–6 (3 chits) Dossier of Zaydi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA49.1–4 (3 chits) Dossier of Ḥaggai\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA50.1–6 (6 chits) Dossier of Nutaynu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAddenda\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA4.29a from the Dossier of Al(i)baal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA8.15a from the Dossier of Samitu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTables\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFive Dossiers of Processed Grain Measured by Capacity (152 Entries)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable 1.
