Notes
Several ostraca bear the same name. These 9 were found in loci 145, 220, 221, 245 and 117, and others bearing the same name were found in different loci (see Masa 0302, Masa 0313, and Masa 0329). The letter alpha might be a mark for a select kind or quality of a specific product, while the yod in Palaeo-Hebrew script may be an abbreviation for יין ("wine"), "ten" or "tithe".
