Textual Notes
The grouping of the numbers and the fact that we are see evidence of accounting products suggests this may be a note of somekind. The palimpsest on cc AND cv is illegible, but indicates the ostracon was reused. The grouping of the numbers 30 + 20 is rare. see scribal_practices '19' and Moore and Gorea, Les papyri. This may indicate a unique school tradition, but a the least an idiolect.
