Commentary
Restitutions in l. 9 are based on accounts IGCyr011400, IGCyr011500, IGCyr011600, IGCyr011800 both for prices and length of lacuna and also because pulse is not so regularly mentioned than hay at that period.
The supposed numbers of lacking characters at ll. 8 and 10-12 are based on the same parallels.
