Commentary

Context: Fragmentary mixed ration list (breaks at head and foot).

Fragmentary. ZU = garlic sits between legumes and cattle exactly where a Bronze Age ration list puts it.

Epigraphic note

GORILA V 45: sup. mut., .1 ][·], a lost sign at the break, no divider; GRA and VIN dotted (its note allows KO for GRA); the last line reads *401+RA[, not *401+RO; inf. mut.
