## Commentary

GORILA I, 214–215 describes the upper part as damaged. The restoration [KI-]RE-TA₂ is strongly supported by HT 129, whose complete KI-RE-TA₂ heading precedes GRA 33⅔, *304 10, and NI 22, but it is not preserved on HT 125b itself. The surviving quantities total 80½; no KU-RO total survives. Younger tentatively interprets side a as disbursements and side b as contributions. Salgarella and Petrakis classify HT 125b structurally among transfer lists, but this does not determine the direction of transfer or the lexical value of its heading.

## Epigraphic note

GORILA I, 214–215 describes the upper part as damaged (sup. mutil.). The first entry and the beginning of ]RE-TA₂ are lost at the break. Younger restores [KI-]RE-TA₂ and compares HT 129, where the complete heading KI-RE-TA₂ precedes the closely matching sequence GRA 33⅔, *304 10, NI 22. The restoration is persuasive but remains editorial. GRA+PA and GRA+F are distinct grain categories; their exact products are unknown. *304 is an unidentified commodity, not securely olive oil. The preserved quantities total 80½, but no KU-RO total survives. Younger's suggestion that side a records disbursements and side b contributions is interpretive.
