Commentary

This small fragment clearly belongs to one of the accounts of the damiergoi and may be dated from its lettering in the series of the first half of the fourth century BC. However it cannot be joined to any other fragment, differing from every one by at least one physical characteristic. C. Dobias-Lalou, who had once thought that it might belong to IGCyr012900² (so Chamoux 1988, p. 143), is now sure that it is impossible.

E. Rosamilia's suggestion that hay was measured by cartload at line 4 produces a plausible dimension for each line. He also suggests to add ἀν for each product, which is optional at the time.
