Divined on Dingchou: When shooting at Liu*, letting it be men of Ru (who shoot) will be favorable. Used. Our lord read the crack(s) and said, “Must not have (> place) trust (in it). Rain.” 12345678 377 This place name is also recorded on 286 and 475. Lin Huan and Sun Yabing (2010: 107-109) locate it in the Linfen basin in southwest Shanxi 山西临汾盆地. 378 This is another instance where a single word was recorded on the recto side of a plastron, in an isolated location, and without a divination crack in its proximity (Sun Yabing 2014: 273- 280). ZSKY 2003 interprets it as a delivery receipt notation. I make the suggestion in the com- mentaries to HYZ 23 and 119 that this type of scribal notation might have had a different admin- istrative function. HYZ 254 | 251
