The original provenance was unclear when the the main papyrus was published by Starcky in 1954 (SCN). It was associated with material supposedly coming from Wadi Seiyal, but the later discovery of small fragments of the document in the Cave of Letters suggests the text edited by Starcky came from the same place, hence its designation as XḤev/Se.
