Textual Notes
cc 1–2 10918 אנצרא may be a food supply since it appears to be sent in a קפיר. interpreted as a foreign name. But I think it may be a form of the word אצרא "the treasury" compare the reference to the treasury in 0997. CG no. 280 in the context of a קפיר.
cc 6: The root דבק is used in the in the G-stem to mean sitting adjacent to. It is most frequently employed in the property contracts to explain the legal borders of the property. The D-stem is not found in IA, but in Syr. it means to adjoin.
