Unclear reading. The gimel in line 2 has been interpreted as an abbreviation for Aramaic גרב, referring to a type of vessel for storing liquids, or as a short form of גרגר ("berries", "ripe olives"?). This same letter, however, occurs 13 times in the Aramaic ostraka and papyri fron Egypt as a short form of גריו, a Persian term used for measurement of grain (1/3 of an ardab).
