Summation of the Twelfth Dynasty. The diagonal trace above the last numbers is likely the start of a bracket around the end of the line that encroach column 8, as can also be seen in (3.14), (5.16) and (8.3). The trace of the last number can only be a 7. Manetho recorded a total of 160/182 years of reign for this dynasty.1

Egyptologists have established that Wegaf could not have been the first king of the Thirteenth Dynasty,1 and his prenomen (ḫw-tꜢwy-rꜤ) written here indicate an unintended swap of the similar prenomen of Sobekhotep I (sḫm-rꜤ-ḫw-tꜢwy) recorded further down in the list (7.19).2 The trace after Ꜣbd can only be the plural .w sign.

There is a trace of what could be imn on fr. 72, which might be the beginning of the name Amenemhat. The length of reign is lost, and the six-year lacuna notation likely for Nerikara, whose record is missing.

There are worn traces of the start of the cartouche, and a rꜤ-sign added erroneously by the scribe.1 The traces of imn are very probable, while m-ḥꜢt is certain. The final number could be in the 3-4 range.2 There might also have been lacuna notation on this line for king Ameny Qemau, which is itself lost in lacuna.3 The rightmost part is the first row of Champollion's fragment C.

King

Fragment(s)
76 + 77 + 70
Gardiner
VI 16
Gardiner incorrectly read a f below the numbers,1 but there is no trace of that on fr. 70. Furthermore, the fragment has moved slightly to the left compared to Gardiner, because there is no vertical fibre correspondence between fr. 70 and 78,2 and also leave room for a longer text. Fragment 76 is the first row of Champollion's fragment G. As can be seen in the photo, Farina joined a tiny fragment to the left side of fr. 77,3 which is not present in Lepsius, Gardiner, or Ryholt, as the fibres do not match,4 or at least, is questionable.

A possible lacuna notation might have been found on this line, but if so, is itself lost in the lacuna. This is almost certain because at least four known successors of Awtibra are absent from the papyrus.1 Fragment 76 is the second row of Champollion's fragment G.
