Commentary
IO Za 8 (HM 3783; GORILA V, 30–31) is a fragment of a circular serpentine libation table from terrace III at Iouktas. The source commentary gives an MM III–LM I context, while the structured corpus field codes LMI; both are retained. Its diplomatic reading is ] A-NA-TI-*301-WA-JA [: the band is broken at both ends, so sign-groups likely stood to either side, and no divider survives within. Read as two words, ʿAnatī nawaya, ‘my Anat, my abode’ (di Mino, Ya Diktu); the group stays out of the tG paradigm.
Epigraphic note
HM 3783, a fragment of the inscribed band of a circular serpentine libation table from terrace III at Iouktas, MM III–LM I (GORILA V 30–31, "Table à libations"; Younger 2023). Broken at both ends: ]Ạ-NA-TI-*301-WA-JA[, A dotted at the left break, JA at the right (GORILA V 31). Sign-groups likely stood to the left and right, and no divider survives among the six signs, so word division rests on the reading: two words, A-NA-TI *301-WA-JA ʿAnatī nawaya, as IO Za 6 runs I-NA-TA-I-ZU-DI-SI-KA undivided.
