Commentary
GORILA I, 210–211: olive and oil account on two joining fragments, written over a palimpsest. The clean transcription omits erased signs within the first two KI-RO forms. The olive total is exact: 31 + 31½ + 16 + 15 = 93½. Three securely evaluable *308/OLIV pairs yield approximately 26.6–28.3%; the third *308 fraction is damaged. The final equation relates the disputed A701 (A) and A706 (H) signs but does not establish either value. KI-RO 6 is an outstanding amount, not a KU-RO total.
Epigraphic note
GORILA I, 210–211. Two joining fragments, written over a palimpsest. The central damage affects the third *308 fraction. The clean transcription omits erased signs inside the first two KI-RO forms. GORILA and the SigLA sign sequence read DA-KI, not DA-TU. A711 (.3/X), A701 (A), and A706 (H) retain their sign labels where their numerical values are uncertain or disputed.
