Summary of Content | The text on cv is either a list of distributions (or less likley collections) of barley. It appears to be a jar label that was broken and not erased when the ostracon was reused for the missive, which poorly preserved. CC is a missive as indicated by the relatively clear word "Now" on line two. The surviving evidence suggests that it was a two line missive and that the edges of the original ostracon survive. |
