Commentary

An entry with a numeral on four Haghia Triada tablets: HT 10a DA-RI-DA 8 before ME-ZA 3, in the KU-NI-SU list (GORILA I 21); HT 85a DA-RI-DA 12, first under A-DU · *307+*307 · VIR+[·] (GORILA I 131); HT 122a DA-RI-DA 1, last before KU-RO 31 (GORILA I 207); HT 93a DA-RI-DA *406VS 2 (GORILA I 147). Hebrew Dardaʿ (1 Kgs 5:11), with ʿ unwritten, from dardar ‘thistle’ by dissimilation (HALOT 230). Rival: a place or work unit, since 12 on HT 85a stands against 1 on HT 122a.
