Commentary

Lines 1-3 give some expenses related to sacrifices and feasts, like in IGCyr0116002.

It was suggested at IGCyr that line 4 probably has part of the total expense and line 5 might be part of the remainder. However, Rosamilia 2023 cautiously points out that it is impossible to know to which type of total the amounts belong.
