Commentary

Cyperus commodity logogram, its principal distribution at Khania: 35 plain and 28 in the fraction ligatures CYP+D and CYP+E. The sign continues as the Linear B CYPERUS ideogram, associated with ku-pa-ro. On HT 89 it opens the commodity section after the total, at 2 + A732. At Khania it keeps company with aromatics: myrrh (MI+JA+RU), *401+RU and fine oil (OLE+TA).
