Commentary

MA Wc <5> (HM ?) (GORILA II: 88; Hallager 1996a, Roundel 2: 177; Hallager & Weingarten 1993: 2-3 fig. 1; found by a farmer, provenience unknown)

statement	logogram & number	no. of impressions	CMS no.
a.1-2: A-SA-DA- KA	b: GRA+E {*581} 4	1	"two birds" like Levi, HT 20 (not published in CMS II 6).

a: The 4 signs are written in two lines: A-SA above DA- KA . Hallager suggests they are to be read as one word. It is usual for sign groups of 3 signs to be written in 1 line on roundels (e.g., HT Wc 3001), although there are exceptions (HT Wc 3009 & KH Wc 2005 [4 signs in 1 line]). And it is usual for signgroups of 4 or more signs to be written in multiple lines (e.g., GO Wc 1 [6 signs in 3 lines], PYR Wc 4 [4 signs in 2 lines]), ZA Wc 2 [7 signs in 2 lines]).

b: Hallager, Hallager 1996a, Roundel 1, pp. 101 & 230, interprets the amount of GRA as one shipment of 4 units of GRA+E consigned to one individual. But since E here is the fraction 1/4 perhaps GRA+E 4 means one shipment of one unit of GRA (120 liters [DOCs ]) in four one-quarter unit containers; the single seal impression would then imply this shipment is overseen by one person. GRA+E may appear on the clay weight KY Zg 1.
