Commentary

ZA 6b: heads the first section, over GRA+PA 50¼, VIN+RA 40, VIN+KA 10; *312-TA₂ heads the second. ʾukulti ‘food, provisions’: Akk. ukultu ‘food, fodder’ (CAD U/W 62). KU-JU writes kul (JU = lu, as in KU-RE-JU), and initial I- the ʾu. The line reads I-KU-JU-TI-*28B: the word spans a fragment join, with a gap at the crack in the diplomatic copy (GORILA III 158–159), and *28B stands as a separate sign before GRA+PA. Cf. AB 28 (I), a different sign, as a single or transaction sign before GRA+PA (Salgarella 2020, 73 n. 55; Steele 2024, 58). One attestation.
