Commentary
Urman (1995: 470-472) interpreted the object of this inscription, which can be literary translated a “square”, as a room or hall for group meals or ritual repasts. These meals often followed religious cermonials. The value of the minah coin as well as its quantity is uncertain (Urman 1995: 473).
