Commentary

HT 30 .3 SA-RA-RA ½: three separate signs, both RA of the plain form (RA₂ in SA-RA₂ on .1), on a tablet written over an erasure, between QA2+[?]+PU ⅕ and *23M 1 (GORILA I 57). The tablet lists commodities with fractions and no names. Heb. I צְרוֹר ‘little pack, bag’, for money (Gen 42:35) and myrrh (Song 1:13), JArm. Syr. ṣərārā ‘bundle, bag’, Arab. ṣurrat ‘purse’ (HALOT 1054). Rival: a personal name (Heb. Šārār, 2 Sam 23:33), against the slot. One attestation.
