## Commentary

Context: Two-section commodity allocation—identical commodity sets distributed to two recipients in varying quantities.

Formulaic parallel structure—same five commodities (grain, anointing oil, oil DI, *304, olives) allocated to two different recipients. A-PU₂-NA-DU receives 47 grain against 30, with comparable oil and olive amounts (GORILA I 29). TE between heading and commodities marks the entry as a contribution.
