Probably a type of female slaves. The “doqe-ja” are recorded in four groups amounting to thirteen women altogether. The text has not yet been satisfactorily interpreted, partly because most of the words elude translation and interpretation, but it is clear that the women are do-e-ra ( like in An 607.3). |
