         Glosses: a due amount of food rations

         Comments: It is possible to interpret σιτομέτριον in {S:04201204200052} as ‘the proper amount of food’ or ‘the food that was due them’ or ‘the food that should be given (to the servants).’ Since σιτομέτριον is a semantically complex term consisting of two quite distinct components, it is usually necessary to employ a phrase as a proper equivalent.
