Quoted text:
Palmer[1] found for Mycenaean Greece the proportions 5:2:1 (with smaller children receiving 1/2), recalling measures familiar from Nuzi, “where the man–boy ratio is 6:1 and the woman’s allocation was only twice that of a child, not even daughters of the royal house rising above the level of a slave’s, which was three times the child’s ration and half the free man’s allocation.”
