The present article investigates the administrative processes behind multiple month accounts of rest houses in Lagas. This will be done from two perspectives. First, the flow of information will be analyzed by comparing the summary accounts with several related text types ( 2). Second, I will describe the administrative techniques by which hundreds of single occasions are reduced to a brief list of summary expenses ( 3). These techniques include subsumption and conversion. By way of conclusion I will discuss the administrative significance of the processes described ( 4). Finally a transliteration and copy of GIS 9 are provided with a short textual commentary ( 5)
