Commentary
Commodity ideogram on 38 tablets, regularly among GRA, OLE, OLIV and related commodities, most often before a quantity. pidru ‘fat’: Central Semitic *pidr- ‘fat’, Heb. peder ‘suet from the kidney’ (Lev 1:8; HALOT 914), JArm. pidrā ‘fat’, Arab. fidra ‘piece of meat’. *304+PA is A 629 in SigLA, a sign Schoep separates from A 304 (Schoep 2002, 123). Rival: an agricultural commodity booked between oil and olives, Palmer’s pulses or a spice such as cyperus or coriander (Schoep 2002, 123–124).
