Commentary
Line o. 1) It could be equivalent to 1 litre or 0,8 litre of oil if the Northern Mesopotamian measure system was used here, although there is no mention of the SILA₃ of Šamaš; for this standard of measure, see Dossier A.1.1.23.
Line r. 1) This locality is not attested elsewhere.
This text attests to the use of oil as a diplomatic gift offered in high places; see Dossier A.1.1.23.
