The document, written on the 13th of Addar (XII) in the 2nd regnal year of Darius, records that the Ebabbar temple gave (nadānu, wr. sum.na) to (ana) A, the overseer of the prebendary bakers (šāpiru ša nuhatimmū) 512 offering-measures (mašīhu ša sattukki) of dates from (ultu) the storehouse (bīt makkūri) located at the banks (kišādu) of the Sippar canal. The dates are for (ina)* the preparation of the regular offerings (sattukku) which were part of the baker’s prebend (nuhatimmūtu) of the current month (Addar).
Secondly, the document also records that the temple gave (nadānu, wr. sum.na) 5 kor (900 liter) of dates to (ana) B for (ša) the sanctuary of the goddess Anunītu. The dates were used by the prebendary bakers (nuhatimmūtu) to (ina)* prepare the regular offerings of the previous month (Šabāṭ).
Thirdly, the document records that the temple gave (nadānu, wr. sum.na) 2;1.3 kor (414 liter) of dates to (ana) C, as fodder (kissatu) for the female birds (iṣṣūrtu), .
Finally, the document records that … (a broken amount) in kor of dates(?) to (ina) prepare the fodder was given (nadānu, wr. sum.na) to (ana) D.
(*)Alternative interpretations are possible due to the ambigious meaning of ina (issued from/intended for).
