Commentary

Allocation tablet, companion to HT11b (same scribe, same findspot). Section 1: A-RU-RA (ʾArura) ]3, KA-RO-NA (Qarna) 2, *322-RI 1, KU-RO 10. GORILA I 23 prints the first numeral broken before 3 (]3), so the entries can reach KU-RO 10. Section 2: A-SU-JA 1, VIR+[?]-I 3, TA₂ 15. *322-RI has no reading: its sign differs from the Khania roundel logogram PIRRI.

Epigraphic note

.1 A-RU-RA, whole: the mark after RA is the fracture edge of the broken corner, where GORILA I 23 and SigLA set a fourth sign (A-RU-RA-[·]); RU is written over an erasure. GORILA prints the numeral broken before 3 at the start of .2. The A this string carries at the end of .2 is read by neither edition nor seen on the photograph or facsimile.
