This second volume devoted to the batch of papyri discovered in 2013 on the site of Wadi el-Jarf (on the western coast of the Gulf of Suez) completes the publication of the logbooks which were part of this collection of archives. Much more fragmentary than papyri A and B -which reported the work of Inspector Merer's phyle in the transportation of limestone blocks from the quarries of Tourah to the Giza plateau-, papyri C, D, E and F record other missions which were assigned to the same team, presumably for a period of about a year. One of these documents, papyrus C, is probably about the building of a harbour near the Mediterranean coast, and confirms the role that hwt-foundations could have played during the early 4th dynasty in the development of areas such as the Nile Delta. Papyrus D, which was probably issued by a scribe named Dedi, shows the activity of several "phyles" from the same team in repetitive tasks relating to supply and guard which were probably linked to the functioning of the Valley temple of Khufu, and maybe also of his royal palace, at the foot of his funerary complex.

Ce deuxième volume consacré au lot de papyrus découverts en 2013 sur le site du Ouadi el-Jarf (sur la côte occidentale du golfe de Suez) parachève la publication des journaux de bord qui faisaient partie de cet ensemble d?archives. Bien plus fragmentaires que les papyrus A et B, qui rapportaient le travail de laphyléde l?inspecteur Merer dans le transport de blocs de calcaire de Tourah au plateau de Giza, les papyrus C, D, E et F enregistrent d?autres missions qui ont été assignées à la même équipe, sans doute pendant une période d?un peu plus d?une année. L?un de ces documents, le papyrus C, est probablement relatif à l?aménagement d?une structure portuaire à proximité de la côte méditerranéenne, et confirme le rôle que pouvaient jouer les fondations-houtdans le développement de régions comme le delta du Nil au début de la IVedynastie. Le papyrus D, qui émane d?un scribe du nom de Dedi, met quant à lui en scène l?activité de plusieursphylésde la même équipe dans des tâches répétitives de surveillance et d?approvisionnement, qui sont probablement liées au fonctionnement du temple de la Vallée du roi Chéops, et peut-être même de son palais, au pied de son complexe funéraire de Giza.
