## Commentary

ARKH 3a counts *317 2 twice, after OLIV 3⅕ and *131B 2 and again beside *312 2, among grain and olive entries; HT 96a has the group *323-*317 1 among SI-MI-TA GRA 5, RU-SA 4 and *323-*344 1; PH 9a has *317-QE-*353 ¼. A commodity sign counted in whole units, and a sign inside groups. On HT 89 it forms the composite JU+*317+QE, A542 in SigLA, a count of 22 among four other human categories in Uchitel's personnel-list analysis (Uchitel 2006). Three attestations. See JU+*317+QE.
