Preface
The aim of this Chronological Survey of Precisely Dated Demotic and Abnormal Hieratic Sources, inspired by Thissen's Chronologie der frühdemotischen Papyri (1980) and Pestman's Chronologie égyptienne d'après les textes démotiques (1967),1 is to provide a chronological survey of all Demotic and Abnormal Hieratic texts dated to a precise year or even month or day. It is to a very large extent based on the Database of Demotic and Abnormal Hieratic Texts (DAHT), consultable here , which has been and still is being compiled as part of the project Multilingualism and Multiculturalism in Graeco-Roman Egypt, sponsored by a Sofja Kovalevskaja Preis of the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung. As such it is a collaborative effort, with the following task division:

Carolin Arlt mummy labels and ostraca
Mark Depauw early Demotic and Ptolemaic documentary papyri (and ostraca)
Marlies Elebaut graffiti
Aikaterini Georgila Roman period documentary papyri
Svenja Gülden funerary papyri
Hermann Knuf literary papyri
Jan Moje inscriptions
Franziska Naether paraliterary texts
