    • speculative(the dedicant's name)— Salgarella 2025
      What this rests on

      Stands in the subject slot of the shorter formula on PS Za 2 (p. 46).

      Role: subject. Salgarella reads the name as i-ja-ti. This corpus has ja-ti on PS Za 2, with a damaged and unread stretch before it where her i- would stand, so the reading is attached to ja-ti, the part the two agree on. Where ja-ti falls inside a longer word on another text (IO Za 7, LA Zb 1 bis), that is not evidence for this reading.

      Proposed on PS Za 2.

    • debateda divine name or epithet (?)— conventional
      What this rests on

      The most widespread element of the formula: libation vessels from several sanctuaries, plus a metal object (PL Zf 1). The alternation JA- / A- / zero is a recurring pattern in the formula. That it names a deity is inferred from its recurrence in dedications.

    • speculative(an) offering— Salgarella 2025
      What this rests on

      Stands in the direct-object slot of the formula (Table 6, p. 46), and is kept in the shorter version on PS Za 2.

      Role: direct object. Contradicts the reading as a divine name.

      Proposed on IO Za 2.

    • speculativethe tears— Schümann 2026, not peer-reviewed
      What this rests on

      Reads the fifth sign (AB13, conventionally ME) as ŽA, a value from the author's own phonetic reconstruction. The same sequence recurs on libation vessels from several sanctuaries; 'tears' has to make sense in each of them.

      Proposed on IO Za 2.
