Commentary

HT Zd 155 and 157 both end in MA-TI-TI-A319, which fixes the cut although no divider is written. The second MA is worn (GORILA IV 131). A319 takes numerals on HT 132 and HT Zd 156 and follows MA-TI-TI here and on HT Zd 157.

Epigraphic note

GORILA IV 130–31: no space before A319 and no numeral after it. The second MA is dotted in the second transcription, and the stucco is worn at the first MA and at A319. Segmentation NA-MA | MA-TI-TI | A319, from the MA-TI-TI-A319 that closes HT Zd 157. MA-TI-TI compares with Hebrew mattat ‘gift’ < *mattant (HALOT 656). A319 is an unidentified commodity logogram.
