Commentary

HT Wc 3017, a roundel, face a QA-KU-RE · DI-*306 ·, face b CYP+D · *304+PA, DI-*306 whole and undotted (GORILA II 77); SigLA reads NA; the hanging strokes are DI’s. DI writes di, *306 the ʿa: Diʿa ‘Knowledge’, Amorite diʿum, fem. diʿatum ‘knowledge’ (Gelb 1980, 17), as in the name DIʿ-ATAN-UM (Gelb 1980, no. 1507). Rival: HT 20 has the same frame, QE-KU-RE · DI ½, with DI a commodity; DI-*306 would then be that commodity written out. One attestation.
