Commentary

Personnel roster associated with Addu; *307+*307 (A 638, *307 written twice; GORILA I 131) may denote a sanctuary, but that interpretation remains provisional. Arithmetic exact: 12+12+6+24+5+3+4 = 66. PA₃-NI plausibly denotes builders; the remaining labels need not be personal names.

Epigraphic note

GORILA I 130–31: .5 TE-KE 3 · DẠ-RE 4, DA dotted in both transcriptions; .6 KU-RO[ ]66, broken after RO. What looks like a seventh unit on .6 is an accidental nail mark (note .6).
