‘(unknown)’1.1.1Transmission
This lexeme is found in the inscription of the inscribed pillar of Xanthos, dated contextually to shortly after the ascension of Artaxerxes II in 405-404 BCE and stylistically to around 400 BCE (Borchhardt & Eichner 1997-99a:19f.).

1.1.3Graphic Features
Schürr 2018b:70 suggest emending to q!ñtre based on the attestation qñtra, occurring later in the poem (TL 55d.68). Since the meaning of neither is known and the two contexts do not necessarily resemble each other, this emendation cannot be supported (likewise DLL:118).
