## Commentary

Two sections: Pašše (PA-SE) takes flour (GRA+QE), oil (OLE+KI) and *304; SA-RA₂ takes grain and figs. Lines 1–5 are written over an erasure (GORILA I 35). FIC 10 follows GORILA, which sets the ten on line 3; the stroke there is vertical in the photograph and facsimile and may belong to the erased text.
