## Commentary

Context: personnel register followed by a separate commodity allocation. The quantity after *304+PA is lost; including every preserved category requires 4, since 58+4+12+2+5+16=97. Montecchi's alternative restores 6 and excludes KI 2 by expanding KI to KI-RO, but RO is not written. *305 is securely a personnel category, but its exact class is unknown. SA-RA₂ is a recipient or institutional heading; 'queen/princess' or 'royal establishment' remains CANDIDATE. OLE+MI is tentatively 'anointing oil': Hebrew šemen ham-mišḥā supplies the exact commodity expression, and Ugaritic mšḥ supports the root. CYP denotes cyperus. *304 is not read syllabically.
