Commentary

GORILA I, 214–215 describes the upper part as damaged (sup. mutil.). The inscription is an oil-and-grain account, not continuous prose. Fraction D/A703 is ⅙ under Corazza et al. 2021; J is ½. The commodity subtypes are secure, but their proposed Semitic expansions remain CANDIDATE.

Epigraphic note

GORILA I, 214–215 describes the upper part as damaged (sup. mutil.). RA₂ is broken on both sides; OLE+U and its quantity continue into the right break; OLE+MI is preceded by a break; SA-RA₂ begins at a broken edge and is not independently secure as a complete word here; the adjunct after the final OLE is lost. Fraction D/A703 is ⅙ under Corazza et al. 2021; J is ½.
