Logogram

Note

Wine-variant logogram. AB131 family: VIN (AB131) = wine (*wayn*), *131B = must (*tirōšu*), *131C = vinegar (ACETUM). 4 attestations: ARKH2, ARKH3a, ARKH5, ZA10b. Consistently paired with quantities in allocation lists alongside GRA and OLIV, mirroring the biblical dāgān-tīrōš-yiṣhār triad (Deut 7:13). Modest quantities (2–6 units) fit must as a less-abundant commodity than standard wine. Recurs in the Arkhanes ration formula (recipient + GRA/*131B + quantity): ARKH2 and ARKH5, beside GRA on ARKH5. The word is spelled DU-RE-ZA, with the terminative -SE, before *131B 5 on ZA10b, ZA for the ṯ of Ugaritic trṯ. Rival: SigLA codes the ARKH3a, ARKH5 and ZA10b tokens VINb, a variant of VIN, and reads ARKH2 KU-RA-*131B as one word.
