The amount of tablets to be entered in the database turned out to be higher than expected. Moreover, the input of these entries in the TheDeMa and their update according to the latest scholarly contributions caused additional delays. The four months of extension of the research project, for which I am applying, will be devoted to the writing of the last chapter of the monograph, the main output of the project. This chapter will address the core topic of subjective justice. In addition, the database will be improved and made an open access resource.
