Paraphrase

Small list of more than 400 sheep and goats, which are at the disposal of Bibēa/Nūrēa. The numbers of individual animals are not fully preserved, but the flock shows the typical ratio: mainly ewes, many female lambs, some rams and male lambs, and a few goats (adults and kids of both sexes).

Bibēa/Nūrēa is a herdsman (nāqidu) and oblate; see Aarslev 2023: 300.
