PY An 610 Tablet and its Parenthetical Note

The purpose of this article is to reconsider the interpretation of the word ko-ni-jo and to offer an alternate view of its meaning and role in the document, hence the lines .13-.14 whose entries form a coherent group in relation to the entire text. The term parenthetical note is used to indicate that this word further explicates the related entries and that the number that is written beside it does not indicate the total number of rowers. This interpretation necessarily also includes consideration of da-mi-ni-jo as the name of the person who has a function of a “collector” and who controls a group of flax-workers mentioned on the tablet with a note that indirectly points to maritime context.
