Twenty-nine rows with the names of twenty-eight kings of the poorly attested kings of the Thirteenth Dynasty. The photos show that the facsimile of Ryholt is slightly incorrect, the fragments having been straightened and/or distorted. It is evident that the numbering towards the bottom of column 8 needs a slight adjustment, which moves the fragments of Ryholt’s row 20 down one row. This does not cause any fibre errors, rather it places the fragments in their correct position.
Column 8.1
The Dual King Khahotepra, 4 years, 8 months, 29 days
nsw-bit ḫꜤ-ḥtp-rꜤ rnpt 4 Ꜣbdw 8 hrw 29
King: Sobekhotep VI (109th king)
Dynasty: XIII (25)
Fragment no(s): 81 + 97
Gardiner: VII 1
For some reason the scribe omitted the second ditto mark (before the number of days). The middle part of the row is Champollion's fr. A.

Column 8.8
The Dual King Merkaura Sobekhotep, 2 years ... 4 days

King: Sobekhotep VII (116th king)
Dynasty: XIII (32)
Fragment no(s): 86 + 81 + 83 + 98
Gardiner: VII 8
The traces after the kꜢ-sign are simply traces of the horizontal plural strokes. The divine determinative (G7) following the cartouche close has been left out due to lack of space.1 The fragment with the number at the end is Champollion's fr. Jj.

The name is lost in lacuna, only a tiny trace of the title and the number of days at the end remain. The fragment with the number at the end (left side) is Champollion's fr. Jj.
Column 8.10
The Dual King ... 3 ...

King: Unknown (118th king)

Fragment no(s): 98
Gardiner: VII 10
The first row is lost in lacuna, apart from tiny traces at the end. Lepsius facsimile show traces of the figure 2, but traces of a 3 is clearly visible in the photo, as it was read by Gardiner.1 The vertical gap between the bottom of fr. 86 and the top of fr. 87 is 83 mm. The distance between the text from the bottom of 8.9 (fr. 98) to the top of 8.15 (fr. 87) is 76 mm. The approximate average text height in this column is 12 mm, with margins of 2.5 mm between the rows. Allowing for slight variance in the text height and margins, five rows lost in the lacuna is a perfect fit.

Gardiner: VII 13
The F31 sign (ms) is not used in the prenomen of any known king until the Late Period, which make this entry almost certain to hold a nomen. The only known nomen of the SIP that possibly fit is one of the two kings named Dedumose. (Dedumose Djedhotepra, and Dedumose Djedneferra)1

A tiny fragment added by Farina complete the cartouche open and add the first two signs of the name. There is no comment about this by Gardiner, but it is quite obvious from Lepsius' edition,1 which only record the cartouche open. This is the only record of this king, there are no other attestations.2 The third row of fr. 93 is Champollion's fr. X and Qbis.

Possibly the Summation of the Thirteenth Dynasty. The horizontal and vertical fibre correspondences of fr. 134 assure the correct placement at the bottom of column 8.1 According to Manetho, 60 kings ruled from Diospolis for a total of 453 years.2 This row is clearly the last of the column, as the bottom of the fragment is part of the bottom margin of the papyrus.
