The texts found in China inexplicably have fewer than one in every 20 of the Cyrus text’s cuneiform signs transcribed, although they are in the correct order

I would submit that this is the world's earliest form of a written aide memoire. Folks need to remember that pre graphic society relied upon memorization of very long texts, the Iliad and Odyssey are but two notable examples, to propagate knowledge. Indeed, even Socrates decried the rise of writing as destructive of memory.

So, if the text was memorized, then the cuneiform would only serve as a reminder to the reciter that he was getting in all the pieces.
