The Semna Dispatches hold unparalleled importance as one of the only papyri remaining for our understanding of Egypt’s control over its Lower Nubian forts in the late Middle Kingdom. Here, we provide an edition and commentary on P. Ramesseum 18 (EA10771), another text concerning the forts. Its only previous publication was as a photograph in Alan Gardiner’s The Ramesseum Papyri: Plates in . The text provides evidence for oversight from the Office of the Vizier in the form of letters to the forts, in support of which only seal impressions and the Duties of the Vizier attested formerly. One letter alerts the fortresses of Elephantine and Kuban about upcoming inspections. Another mentions an official from Edfu connected with the Medjay commanding a wꜤr.t-district at Kuban. Dating to the transition of Dynasty 12 and 13, the letters verify the continuing control of the forts, including rotations of personnel from Upper Egypt.

该Semna急件持有无与伦比的重要性，其余为我们的埃及在后期古村其较低的努比亚堡垒控制的理解只有纸莎草之一。在这里，我们提供了有关堡垒拉美西斯18（EA10771）的版本和评论。它唯一的先前出版物是Alan Gardiner的《拉美西斯·帕皮里》（The Ramesseum Papyri：Plates in）中的照片。文本以给堡垒的信的形式提供了维齐尔办公室的监督证据，对此的支持仅是印章印章和维齐尔职责的先前证明。一封信就即将进行的检查向象山和库班要塞发出警报。另一位提到埃德富（Edfu）的官员与梅杰（Medjay）联系，命令一名位于库班的w- r.t区。追溯到第12和13年王朝的过渡，这封信证明了对堡垒的持续控制，包括来自上埃及的人员的轮换。
