Language, Primary Aramaic, Imperial
Comments on Text Layout According to Grelot, this is the first column of the name list. This is probably correct. One might expect three lines missing at the top, at least. Line 1' would be a discription of the list, as is expected with a multicolumn list. Lines 2'-3' are the missing name entries accounding to the tally in the right margin. The tally in the left margin belongs to another column of names, which is now missing. Since there is a "10" and not a "20" in column ii, one may hazard to guess that the list is organized by groups (e.g. military units) or by items (distributed or paid).
