Commentary

Verso of HT28a/b. A-SI-JA-KA and U-MI-NA-SI form the account heading. The principal allocation is assigned to SA-RA₂, read as a royal recipient or establishment rather than ‘remainder,’ followed by three named sub-recipients: PU-RA₂, JA-HA, and WI-DI-NA. JA-HA is attested on both sides; its proposed relation to Yāh remains SPECULATIVE. HT28a shares the A-SI-JA-KA heading.
