## Commentary

Personnel account with a ration triad after the total, the format of HT89; Montecchi (2011) reads HT27, 89, 94 and 100 as lists of participants and provisions for feasts. KU-RO 335 (GORILA, Younger) or 35̣5̣ (Montecchi); the preserved entries sum to 322, and the remainder lies in the breaks. *86 51 and RE 20 are not shown to be persons.

## Epigraphic note

GORILA I 49 dots QẸ on .4; QE, the 50 of .2 and I-MI-SA-RA on .3 stand at the intact left edge (photograph and GORILA facsimile). 43 meets the break: 43[.
