Demotic accounts was one of the administrative tools used in the  administration of the various institutions, which seems to have been used from the 26th dynasty until the 2nd century AD., when the use of demotic for everyday  documentation began to disappear.  Recording accounts was the responsibility of scribes in ancient Egypt. These scribes  were supposed to be knowledgeable of all the basics of accounting and mathematics.  When recording accounts, scribes used to apply many techniques and methods, whether in recording the entries of the account or in the balancing of the account.  This work of scribes has left various types of accounts varied according to their content from monetary accounts, to in kind, {u2026} etc. Furthermore, demotic accounts  presented a very precise vocabulary and terminology and heading formulae.  Demotic accounts was, not only a very important tool for the ancient Egyptian, but also it is very significant and informative for Egyptologists, as they contain many  significant and useful indications and information. However, the value of demotic account documents for the economy and social history of the Egyptians was often  doubted and underestimated. As such, this study aims to shed lights on this type of documents
