Notes
Chits A10.3-4, and A10.15-22 are for a product, read as גיד or גיר, whose identity is uncertain; using a variety of other reference texts, the editors have determined it to be either coriander or plaster. With regard to the quantity, the second cluster of numerals (after the first "3") are configured as they would be for the number "4," so the editors assume a stroke is missing, hence the addition of the "1."
