## Commentary

Grain allocation roster. Header KI-RE-TA-NA (Cretan gentilic) + VIR 1, then GRA+H 70 (GRA+H = fraction rider, grain in 1/16 measure), divider, three recipients: DI-NA-RO (2), DU-SU-NI (4[, a trace after the numeral), [?]-RA₂-TI (10). JU-[ on .3 opens a word broken at the edge (GORILA I 175). DU-SU-NI: Dišon, as Hebrew Dîšôn 'antelope'; rival a Hurrian name in -nni. Remains incomplete: VIR+[?] damaged, [?]-RA₂-TI and JU-[ broken.

## Epigraphic note

GORILA I 175 normalizes .2 DU-SU-NI 4[ with a trace after the numeral, .3 ][·]-RA₂-TI 10, the first sign lost and joined by a hyphen (the note offers two candidates, neither secure), and .3 JU-[, the start of a broken word.
