Msc: M.Lang (op.cit.) interprets grf as an indication of contents, i.e.
somebody said he had put in 8 choes, although this jar would take more
(in fact 10 choes, if the choes is the Athenian size, as she seems to
assume). The grf could rather be a price - cf w/ Delos prices,
and nt this is a bigger than normal container (VG, 11.xii.67)*
