    Comments: It is difficult in {S:04600301200028} to know precisely the distinction between χόρτον ‘grass’ and καλάμην ‘straw.’ It would seem clear that καλάμην would be less valuable than χόρτον, and this might be a reference to the use of straw as a very poor thatching material. On the other hand, it could be understood as a reference to the use of straw in place of grass in the making of sun- dried bricks.
