An account of a Greek papyrus at the University of Michigan which came originally from the Fayûm and dates from approximately the fourth century A.D. It is earlier than the Akhmtm papyrus, Baillet (1892), but contains tables similar to those in this, as well as in the earlier Rhind papyrus. Robbins states that the account of this papyrus by L. C. Karpinski was based on information furnished by him; this account is: "Michigan mathematical papyrus, no. 621," Isis, vol. 5, October, 1922, pp. 20-25 + 1 plate.

First paragraph of the résumé. "L’article présent cherche à démontrer que les Égyptiens divisaient d'après le système, suivi dans la grande tabelle d'Ahmes $\scriptstyle [2:\;(2\pi +1)]$, c'est-a-dire en cherchant pour le quotient a : b un nombre c qui, multiplié par b, donne a. On commence par démontrer la maniére de procéder des Égyptiens lorsque a, b, c sont des nombres entiers."
