Commentary

In the original, use is made of lines of differing length to fill the space between the particulars of single entries in order to furnish proper columns. This typical format feature has been reproduced here by using a table.

All readings supplied for those places where the document is damaged are inferred from document E_2779_0019 under the adoption of spelling conventions followed in the present document. The present list seems to be a rough sketch for E_2779_0019, possibly supposed to be its clean copy. Differences to this copy concern details such as the biefer introductory statement, the quoting of the sacrificers' names without the agentive suffix (-le); the altered spellings of names; and a different arrangement of the summary. As regards contents the only notable difference between the two documents is that in the present document buffaloes nos. 13 and 18 are recorded as being cut with two hands whereas according to E_2779_0019 one hand is used. For further details and commentary, see the edition of E_2779_0019.
