Commentary

Context: Fat and meat commodity allocation—fragmentary beginning, Villa Magazine findspot, LMIB. Pairs with HT12 (same location, same period, shared *304 and QE-TU vocabulary).

Fragmentary tablet beginning. The personnel category *305 heads the *304 allocations. The RE preposition before *304 marks an explicit allocation. MI-DA-NI (mitāni ‘loins’) would complete the meat/fat inventory. Shares vocabulary with HT12 (same findspot): *304, QE-TU/QE-TU-NE.

Epigraphic note

GORILA I 79: .2 QE-TU 10, complete at the start: the first transcription has no bracket, and QE sits at the smooth left edge.
