The prebend comprises ox and sheep from the royal offerings, offerings of the kāribu, ginû-offerings, qiqqû-offerings, offerings of the eššēšu-festivals, bayyānūtu-offerings, greeting of the temple (šalām bīti) offerings, coils (tīrānu), brain(?) (g[ab]bu), gan ṣēli-meat, trimmings (nukāsātu), epigastrium (karšu), naṣrappu-meat, 2 ankle cuts (kursinnu), omasum (riqītu), bāb urkāti-meat, hilidamu-meat, and fatty tissue around the intestines (hinṣu) not cut off (qarāšu), for the whole year. B receives the money from A and is thus paid.
