Commentary
Intact LM IB pig account by recipient. MA-DI 15, QA-QA-RU 6, A-RI-SU 4 and RI-RU-MA 10 sum to 35 against KU-RO 30, five omitted (Younger 2023). The KI values after the first three entries, 10 + 4 + 1, equal the final KI 15. KI abbreviates KI-RO ‘owed’ (Hooker 1975; Duhoux 1989, 79, cited by Younger 2023). MA-DI is untranslated.
Epigraphic note
Intact LM IB pig account by recipient. SigLA classifies AB85 as the SUS logogram, A516 as a transaction sign, and all four AB67/KI occurrences as logograms. MA-DI 15, QA-QA-RU 6, A-RI-SU 4 and RI-RU-MA 10 sum to 35 against KU-RO 30, five omitted (Younger 2023). The KI values after the first three entries, 10 + 4 + 1, equal the final KI 15. KI abbreviates KI-RO ‘owed’ (Hooker 1975; Duhoux 1989, 79, cited by Younger 2023). MA-DI and RI-RU-MA are untranslated.
