Remarks: | Numbers : Černý in his Nb. 36.62 suggests that O. Leipzig 18 = inv. no. 1907 originally formed part of this ostracon, but McDowell has some doubts. Date(s) mentioned: the date on the Leipzig frg. is not easy to explain in correlation to the rest of the text. Date(s) attributed: Kitchen's dating most probably in view of the year number '19'. |
