Three (3) fragments on mummy bandage inscribed with hieratic characters from the same mummy and created by the same scribe all in black ink. The name of the deceased was Pede-imhotep, and he was the sone of a woman called Tahut. They date from perhaps the late Persian-Ptolemaic period, 330 BCE–30 BCE. They were a gift from the estate of Rev. Lysander Dickerman in 1903 along with A18901(2). It is unknown how Dickerman acquired them. The first fragment (18 x 9 cm) shows a scene along the top from Chapter 17 of the Book of the Dead below which is ten lines of text also from Chapter 17. The second fragment (27 x 5.8 cm) contains the closing text of Chapter 108 and the beginning text of Chapter 109. The third fragment (30 x 6.5 cm) contains 6 lines of text from the beginning of Chapter 85. On the left side is a drawing of a swallow perched on a mound which is the vignette of Chapter 86.

Two (2) fragments on mummy bandage inscribed in hieratic characters all in black ink. These two fragments are not from the same mummy. Both were a gift from the estate of Rev. Lysander Dickerman in 1903 along with A18901(1). It is unknown how Dickerman acquired them. The first fragment (26.5 x 8.3 cm) has at the top right a vignette from Chapter 93.
