## Commentary

Context: Personnel list—individual names with qty 1 allocations

MA-KA-RI-TE 'merchants' heads a roster of men owing 1 each, as Ugaritic lists count mkrm 'merchants' with a total (ġr mkrm, DULAT 537); rival makritu 'red' (CAD M/1 138). One written word in both witnesses. Personnel allocation list with named recipients. KI-RO is 'owed', not 'all, total'. U-MI-NA-SI heads the roster outside the count: the ten one-unit entries from U-SU to NA-DA-RE make KU-RO 10. KI-DA-RO is the personal name Qidaru, last of the SA-TA roster below the ruling. Six of the fifteen names recur as men's names in Linear B at Knossos: U-SU u-su (KN V 7512), TE-JA-RE te-ja-ro (KN V 479), NA-DA-RE no-da-ro (KN As 609), KU-KU-DA-RA ku-ka-da-ro (KN Uf 836), DA-MI-NU da-mi-ni-jo (KN D series), KI-DA-RO ki-da-ro (KN E 842); MA-RU compares with ma-ro at Pylos (PY Cn 328) (DMic I–II). Both sections list persons.
