## Commentary

Recipient list (HM 1674, GORILA III 16–17), broken at the right edge: each entry runs past the break, so line .2 opens with the 7 that closes entry 1 and line .3 with *131B 6, which closes the Addar entry. The last word may be A-DA[ (GORILA). Same named-recipient + GRA/*131B format as ARKH3a.
