Commentary
Reverse of HT85a. Eleven entries of 1 occur under KI-KI-RA-JA, with no written total. Surface damage affects the tablet, and TE-TU is damaged at the right edge. PA, KA and DI are logograms in SigLA’s analysis; QE-KA and RE-DI-SE remain untranslated roster labels; ME-ZA is massu ‘corvée gang’.
