[1] Sub-letters have been assigned based on the order of a list of grain weights Woolley recorded at the side of the field card; confusingly, a later addition to the card has recorded 2 weights in grams, listed as A & B but they do not correspond to the order of all 10 grain weights.

[4] The field reported weights are ~10% heavier than weights obtained in modern measures of these objects.
