Commentary

Context: mixed-commodity administrative account, Haghia Triada Casa Room 7, LM IB, HT Scribe 2. GORILA I 166–167 and Younger preserve six lines. A horizontal rule after line 4 separates the lower account. The tablet is substantially abraded and fractured; the lacunae after KU-PA₃-, before 20, and across OLE+KI 2[ / ]3 are grammatically and administratively significant. Younger treats the three upper headings as parallel entities or toponyms; Hogan (2026, 80–81) classifies HT101 among mixed-commodity transfer lists. No KU-RO total is written.

Epigraphic note

Mixed-commodity administrative tablet, GORILA I 166–167; Younger classifies it as Schoep type Ia. The horizontal rule after line 4 begins a separate account. Damage must be retained after KU-PA₃-, before the quantity 20, and across the line-5/6 sequence OLE+KI 2[ / ]3. The upper portion contains three parallel entity headings: ZU-*22F-DI, SA-RA₂, and KU-PA₃-[…]. SA-RA₂ is therefore an entity, recipient, institution, or title rather than a demonstrated surplus; ‘queen/princess’ or ‘royal establishment’ remains a candidate. KU-PA₃-[NU] is the strongest corpus-internal restoration, but the ending is lost and is not counted as an attestation. ZU-*22F-DI remains opaque because the probable syllabographic use of *22F is uncertain (Judson 2017, 88 nn. 237–239). DI+QE is an unresolved commodity compound. *304 is securely a commodity in the oil/fat register, while its proposed identification with Semitic *pidr- ‘fat, tallow’ remains tentative. OLIV+TU is a distinct olive subtype; its precise sense is unknown.
